It remains uninhabited except in the fishing season, i.e. between the months of October and February.<br /> <br /> In the past, fishermen came from the [[Chittagong]] and [[Noakhali]] areas of [[Bangladesh]] for fishing. They developed special aptitude and traditional skills for marine fishing. The main reasons for using Jambudwip were the island&#039;s proximity to the fishing grounds, presence of a natural creek for safe harbouring of their boats, and supply of drinking water.<br /> <br /> Tourists are not allowed on this island. However, there are small boats available from Frazerganj who takes tourists around this island. It is illegal to stop on this island so these boats take the tourists around the island.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> *[http://www.indiatogether.org/2005/may/env-jambudwip.htm Jambudwip - a fishy conservation (India Together)]<br /> *[http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.in/node/37015 Entangled (India Environment Portal)]<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Sundarbans]]<br /> *[[Ganges Delta]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Islands of West Bengal]]<br /> [[Category:Geography of South 24 Parganas district]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{South24Parganas-geo-stub}}</div>
