Ecology edit
Chikil's surrounding waters are very shallow. There is very little vegetation on the island due to oil pollution as well as other factors.
Caspian seals, sturgeon, and numerous types of birds, like teal ducks, herring gulls and grebes, are some of the animal species that can be found on and around the island.[2]
