📍 About the location
The Island of Mozambique (Portuguese: Ilha de Moçambique) lies off northern Mozambique, between the Mozambique Channel and Mossuril Bay, and is part of Nampula Province.[1] Prior to 1898, it was the capital of colonial Portuguese East Africa.[2] With its rich history and sandy beaches, the Island of Mozambique is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Mozambique's fastest-growing tourist destinations.[1] It has a permanent population of approximately 14,000 people and is served by nearby Lumbo Airport on the Nampula mainland. The name of the country, Mozambique, is derived from the name of this island.
Mozambique's island has lately suffered from the erosion due to the lack of knowledge of the local people as well as the constant cutting of mangogrove for energy use. in this context, AJOV has been developing activities since 2019 aimed at raising awareness among the population and the government of taking measures for its conservation.
