<P> The Gulf of Mannar is a large shallow bay forming part of the Laccadive Sea in the Indian Ocean . It lies between the southeastern tip of India and the west coast of Sri Lanka , in the Coromandel Coast region . The chain of low islands and reefs known as Ramsethu , also called Adam 's Bridge , which includes Mannar Island , separates the Gulf of Mannar from Palk Bay , which lies to the north between India and Sri Lanka . The estuaries of Thamirabarani River and Vaipar River of South India and the Malvathu Oya ( Malvathu River ) of Sri Lanka drain into the Gulf . The dugong ( sea cow ) is found here . </P>
