In late December 2019, the Wildlife Conservation Society of India launched an expedition to Angria Bank, discovering a coral reef that hadn't bleached yet.

The government of India plans to designate Angria Bank as a marine protected reserve.

During the 8-day expedition to Angria Bank that started on 18 December, over 150 species of corals and algae were documented with no visible signs of bleaching.

In 2008, Maharashtra state Finance Minister Jayant Patil announced a ₹50 million initiative to explore Angria Bank to determine the feasibility of further marine tourism in the area.
