Nakhiloo Island (also: Nakhilo, Nakhilu, Nokhailo; Persian: جزیره نخیلو, jazireye Nakhiloo ) is one of the Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf. This small island has an area of around 6 km2, has a sandy coastline of some 8 km, and is 5 km from Ommolkaram. The island is located southeast of Bushehr.
Important Bird Area
[edit]Nakhiloo, along with neighbouring Morghu and Ummal Karam islands, has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because they support breeding crab-plovers as well as colonies of bridled, Saunders's, lesser crested and white-cheeked terns. The islands are also a breeding site for hawksbill sea turtles.[1]
