To comprehend the water chemistry and quality check the seawater samples were collected during different seasons from 14 locations of Agathi and Amini Islands of Lakshadweep. The present study showed that the seawater collected had both neutral and alkaline pH ranging 7.9-8.9. The pH during the Pre- monsoon and post-monsoon remained to be 7.9 and 8.9 respectively. The range of major ions in the water analyzed were found to be in the order of Ca> Mg>Na+K> Cl>SO4> TDS>TH. The inference made by this study is that the seawater from study area is under permissible limits and is fit for lagoon including corals and related organisms according to the water quality standards.
