Isolated around 20 km north of the shoals lies the outlying reef-fringed island of Albatross.

The Shoals of Capricorn Programme is a major marine science research and education programme initiated by the Royal Geographical Society (with The Institute of British Geographers) in association with the Royal Society and the governments of Seychelles and Mauritius.
The scientific concept behind the Shoals of Capricorn Programme was formulated by 120 scientists, many with a particular interest in the Indian Ocean region, at a 2-day seminar hosted by the Royal Geographical Society (with the IBG) and the Royal Society, representing an outstanding breadth of scientific expertise.
The Shoals of Capricorn Programme has attracted expertise and interest from research Institutes and Universities from around the world, and will provide the platform and opportunity for integrated multidisciplinary marine research to be carried out by a number of scientists working together towards a common goal.

 Cargados Carajos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the past, Cargados Carajos was a large, volcanic island (part of the Mascarenes, caused by the Réunion hotspot).
A number of unnamed islands and sand cays complete the Cargados.
The total number of islands on the reef is close to 40.

 Biogeography: The role of the ice ages in the dispersal of the genus Phelsuma
This process started 64 Ma, after the separation of the Mascarene Plateau and India, about 35 Ma the Saya de Malha bank was formed, later the Nazareth bank and the Cargados Carajos Shoals (Saint Brandon).
Cargados Carajos today still counts 22 small islands.
The young age of Mauritius does not suspect this, meaning that the ancestor of the Mascarene forms probably used the islands of the Nazareth bank and the Cargados Carajos Shoals as stepping stones to colonize in a later stage Mauritius.

 Mascarene Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.virginia.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The Mascarene Islands (or Mascarenhas Archipelago) are a group of islands in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar, which includes Mauritius, Réunion, Rodrigues,Cargados Carajos shoals, plus the former islands of Saya de Malha, Nazareth and Soudan.
Had the erosion not taken place, Cargados Carajos would have been a large volcanic island, and the Mascarenes would have been an archipelago of seven or more (counting Saya De Malha, Nazareth and Soudan) large, populated islands, rather than the three (Mauritius, Reunion, Rodrigues) that remain today.
The plateau, including the Saya de Malha Bank, Nazareth Bank, Soudan Banks and Cargados Carajos Shoals (Saint Brandon)[back then one large island], were formed by the Reunion hotspot.

Two tiny dependencies to the north of Mauritius, the Agalega Islands and the Cargados Carajos Shoals (also known as the St. Brandon Rocks), are unpopulated.
Nonetheless, their location permits the nation's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) to cover about 1.2 million square kilometers of the Indian Ocean.
The Cargados Carajos Shoals are a group of more than twenty islands, none more than one square kilometer in area, which are primarily fishing stations.
