VamiziIsland is located in the North of Mozambique’s Quirimbas Archipelago. This chain of 32 islands stretches along the coast of Mozambique, towards their norther boarder with Tanzania.
The waters around Vamizi are rich in marine life, and the island is ideally situated where the south equatorial current splits heading north to Tanzania and south towards the eastern coastline of South Africa. These nutrient rich currents contain plankton which supports the staggering amount of marine life found around Vamizi.
A survey carried out on the waters of Vamizi identified 46 genera of coral species with more than 400 species of fish. This number, according to studies carried out by scientists at Vamizi, represents over half the number of reef-associated species for the whole of Mozambique.
