Andaman and Nicobar Islands have the longest coastline which stretches to approximately 2000 km. Sunny skies, golden beaches, turquoise waters, and untouched environs make Andaman islands your perfect go-to destination. Due to its long coastal stretch, these islands have a very rich marine biodiversity.  They harbour more than 1200 species of fish, 350 species of echinoderms, 1000 species of molluscs and many more lower forms of life.  Among vertebrates, dugongs, dolphins, whales, salt-water crocodiles, sea turtles, sea snakes etc. are common.  Corals and Coral reefs are the most fascinating part of marine ecosystem here.  So far, 179 species of corals belonging to 61 genera have been reported.  Reefs are mostly fringing type on eastern coast and barrier type on the western coast.  Important genera include Acropora, Montipora,Pocillipora,Porites, Favia, Fungia, Gonopora, Millipora and Heliopora. Coral reefs are important breeding and nursery ground for fish and many other organisms and have been aptly called "The Tropical Rain forests in the Sea." 


But it is not just the beauty of the archipelago of 572 islands that makes Andaman and Nicobar Islands an ideal getaway.  Game Fishing is one of the lesser known sports that Andaman offers, and is sure to bind you with its thrill and you would not want to give up until absolutely exhausted.  Those who do game/ sports fishing and looking for fishes like Giant Trevally, Dog Tooth Tuna, Marlin, Rusty Job Fish, Yellow Fin Tuna, Amber Jack, Great Barracuda, Groupers, Sail Fish and King Mackerel is the perfect place for them. These can be caught popping, jigging or trolling. Photograph will explain the stories of fishing in Andaman Islands
