Verkhovsky Islands, Island group protected area in Primorsky Krai, Russia.
The Verkhovsky Islands form an archipelago along the Sea of Japan coastline, reaching an elevation of 27.3 meters above sea level.
The Russian Empire incorporated these islands into its territory in 1860 after obtaining the region from Qing China through territorial agreements.
The islands and surrounding waters support traditional fishing practices of local communities, who maintain connections with marine resources spanning generations.
Visitors need special permits from Russian authorities to access the islands, with transportation arrangements requiring advance planning through local tour operators.
The islands serve as nesting grounds for migratory birds, creating seasonal patterns of avian movement across the Sea of Japan.
