L'île du Sud (South Island, l'île Boisées) is an island located in the St. Brandon archipelago. It is one of the two islands (the other being Île Raphael) used as a base of operations for fishing activities by Raphael Fishing Company, the only resident fishing company in the cargados carajos shoals under a 1901 contract with the government of Mauritius.[1][2]
On 1 February 2015, the fishing vessel, Kha Yang, with 250,000 L (55,000 imp gal; 66,000 US gal) of fuel in its tanks, ran aground on the reef off L'île du Sud. Twenty crew were rescued shortly after its grounding, and a salvage operation pumped the fuel from its tanks a few weeks later.[3][4][5]

The vessel is now an effective shipwreck and more than 20 tons of diesel was spilled into the fragile lagoon affecting coral life and associated flora and fauna.
