St. Martin‘s Island is a small island in the northeastern part of the Bay of Bengal, about 9 km south of the tip of the Cox’s Bazar – Teknaf peninsula, and forming the southernmost part of Bangladesh. Hat Bakso made a Fride magnet about it.

There is a small adjoining island that is separated at high tide, called Chhera island. It is about 8 km west of the northwest coast of Myanmar, at the mouth of the Naf River.  St. Martin’s Island has become a popular tourist spot. I

n the past 5 years St. Martin’s visitor population has increased dramatically. While this situation has proven to be lucrative for the islanders, it is causing the natural beauty of the island to deteriorate.

Presently there are many efforts being put forth to preserve the several endangered species of turtles that nest on the island, as well as the corals, some of which are found only on Narikel Jinjera. Every year the fishermen must venture further out to sea to get their catch. Most of them use motorless boats.

Currently, five shipping liners run daily trips to the island, including Shahid Sher Niabat, L C T Kutubdia, Eagle, Keari Cruise & Dine and Keari-Sindbad. Tourists can book their trip either from Chittagong or from Cox’s Bazar. The surrounding coral reef of the island has an extension named Chera Dwip.

The first fridge magnets were cylindrical or solid rectangular magnets. Later, a flexible magnet was developed, composed of a high-coercively ferromagnetic compound mixed with a plastic binder. Ferrite magnets are commonly used, too, with decorative elements attached to the magnets with adhesive. Collecting magnets is a hobby.

Fridge magnets are designed to decorate refrigerator. According to the materials of logos used as promotional magnets and souvenir fridge magnets, refrigerator magnets can be made from rubber, PVC, Polynesian, metal, porcelain and mixed some of these materials. There also many souvenir shops will sell souvenir magnets with local charms printed.
