		The island is totally encircled by reefs, with wide shallow reef flats extending out from the shore — in the east this narrows to 50 meters in places but is more typically 1-2 kilometers wide, while at its widest extent in the west it reaches 10 kilometers.
		South of Angoche the coastline is dominated by Quaternary to Recent sediments, largely sands interspersed with heavy alluvial deposits, particularly in the central region between Angoche and Bazaruto Island where some 24 rivers meet the coast, including the large delta areas of the Zambezi and Save Rivers.
		The 115 named islands and atolls together with their associated reef systems can be clearly divided into two distinct regions: the high islands to the north and the low coralline islands spread over wide areas to the south and southwest.

	A complex relationship:
		One consequence of the threat of Malagasy raids was the regular exchange of intelligence through Muslim emissaries in the first decade of the new century between the Portuguese authorities at Mozambique Island, the Sultan of Nzwani, and the Queen of Bombetoka, the important trading entrepôt that was the predecessor of modern Mahajanga3.
		The islands supplied Mozambique with rice, sorghum, finger millet, some oats, beans, mung or green gram, coconuts, coconut oil, ghee, honey, goats, cattle, and sambo (from ntsambu in Shingazidja; Cyclas circinalis), a form of sago that was used only for feeding slaves7.
		Similarly, the Portuguese were entangled diplomatically in the political restructuring precipitated in north-western Madagascar and the Comoro Islands following the death of Radama I, the Merina defeat of the Sakalava kingdom of Boina, and the Malagasy invasions of Mwali and Mayotte (J. Martin 1983, I: 124-131)11.
