B. Innafushi, located to the east-north of B. Fulhadhoo, consists of an island and sandbanks surrounded by the sea. On the eastern side of the area lies the Cobin Wreck Protected Area. The island of Innafushi serves as a crucial breeding ground for protected birds in the Maldives. The sandbanks in this area play a vital role as an environment for these birds, where they rest and lay eggs. Preserving these sandbanks without altering them is essential to maintain the current in the area. Innafushi and the surrounding sea area are rich in various species of corals and fish.
