'''Hawkins Bank''' is a large [[ocean bank|submerged bank]] off the [[Mascarene Plateau]]. It is considered a dependency of [[Mauritius]] (in terms of [[fishing bank]]s, much like the [[Saya de Malha Bank]], [[Nazareth Bank]], and the [[Soudan Banks]]). The bank is abundant with fish and Mauritian vessels often fish in the waters in and around the bank.
