The colorful coastline of the Bazaruto Archipelago extends off East Africa. Regions of shallow waters, seagrass meadows, and coral reefs appear in shades of tan, green, and turquoise. Deeper waters appear blue. The coastlines, deltas, and tidal flats are shaped by moderate tides that rise and fall a few meters each day; strong currents run in the channels between islands, carving and reshaping the sediment.
