Malusi islands explained

The Malusi islands (Estonian: Malusi saared) are an archipelago in Gulf of Finland, administratively belonging to Estonia.[1] The archipelago consists of three islands: Põhja-Malusi, Vahekari and Lõuna-Malusi.

Nature

The islands are one of the main habitats of Estonian grey seals in the Gulf of Finland. Many of them are found on the Malusi islands because they are protected seal breeding areas.[2]

Some species, such as wild strawberries and whortleberry, have disappeared.[3]
