Pelican Island is a small island located within the confines of the Karavasta Lagoon, in the municipality of Divjakë, western Albania.
At an elevation of 0.5 m above sea level, the island has formed from the accumulation of organic waste, which has created an ecosystem rich in herbaceous plants.[1] Here, the curly pelican, native to the region, has established its nesting grounds with a breeding period that ranges between January and June. The large white bird with grey markings, weighs about 16 kg and feeds on fish and other lagoon creatures.[2]
In 2020, a surveillance system was set up on the island to observe and monitor the daily activity of the pelicans.[3]
