Primeiras and Segundas Archipelago
The Primeiras and Segundas Archipelago is a chain of 10 sparsely inhabited barrier islands and two coral reef complexes situated in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Mozambique and near the coastal city of Angoche. The islands lie in two groups along the western side of the Mozambique Channel.
==Description==
The islands lie in a string along Africa's continental shelf. The five Segundas islands are in the north, separated by a stretch of open water and reefs from the five islands of the Primeiras chain to the south. The eastern sides of the islands are fringed with coral reefs, composed mainly of soft corals, with hard corals at their southern edges. Beds of seagrass are situated between the islands and the mainland, which are important habitat for sea turtles and dugongs. The southern islands support Mozambique's larges nesting grounds for green sea turtles, and hawksbill sea turtle also use the beaches. The archipelago also hosts the most important dugong population in the western Indian Ocean.〔
Vegetation on these low islands includes mangrove, grass and scrub. Offshore, they are more noted for the biodiversity of their spectacular coral reefs, which support an important fishery.〔Schwartz, Maurice L. 2005. ''Encyclopedia of Coastal Science''. Dordrecht, The Netherlands: Springer, p. 663. ISBN 978-1-4020-1903-6〕 Due to the lack of reliable sources of fresh water, habitation on the islands is sparse — mainly in support of fishing operations.〔Rodrigues, M.J.; Motta, H.; Whittington, M.W.; Schleyer, M. 2000.
