View submission: Earthwork fishing infrastructure on north sentinel island?
If you’re looking at what I think you are those are parts of lagoons and areas where sediment has built up between rip currents. Completely natural.
The coastline of the island is undergoing change as a result of uplift experienced during the 2004 earthquake and tsunami. This means that a lot of the previous coastal features are reshaping themselves and settling into a new norm.

I wish I could share images because it’d make things a lot easier to point out. Can I DM you?
The eastern portion was the one left mostly intact after the earthquake. So many of the exposed coral reefs are not what I’m talking about in specific.
More so I’m trying to point out jutting earthen piers with bulbous ends, looks like how we would design a pier. They are very small and you can’t see them unless you zoom almost all the way.
They are thickest at the bulb of earth at the end they don’t taper into a thicker piece of earth.
