Minicoy is defined entirely by its relationship with the surrounding waters.
* **Minicoy Lagoon**: One of the largest lagoons in Lakshadweep, it serves as a natural harbour, a calm waterway for traditional navigation, and the centre of the island's marine life. * **Arabian Sea & Laccadive Sea**: The island is surrounded by these deep oceanic waters, which provide the vital tuna fishery that sustains the island.
