Bazaruto Island

Bazaruto (Portuguese: Ilha do Bazaruto, from Ushurutswa, island of the mist) is a sandy island located approximately 80 kilometres (50 mi) southeast of the mouth of the Save River, Mozambique (21°38′S 35°30′E / 21.633°S 35.500°E / -21.633; 35.500Coordinates: 21°38′S 35°30′E / 21.633°S 35.500°E / -21.633; 35.500). It is the largest island in the Bazaruto Archipelago and in the Bazaruto National Park.

The warm, southward-flowing Mozambique Current seems to contribute to the increasing buildup of the sandy coastline. Because the water along this coastal area is very clear, much of the sub-surface channel pattern around the island is discernible. Several narrow lines of plankton bloom parallel the shoreline on the satellite photo below. Bazurato Archipelago holds the largest population of Dugong in Mozambique of more or less than 120 animals.
