Chissioua Mbouzi, Uninhabited island in Mayotte, France
Chissioua Mbouzi is a small uninhabited island in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Mayotte. It rises from the water and provides habitat for seabirds and marine life that inhabit the waters around Mayotte.
The island received formal recognition in 2007 as part of Mayotte's administrative integration into France. Since then it has been classified as a protected natural area.
The maritime environment of Chissioua Mbouzi connects to the traditions of Mahoran people, who maintain strong connections with the surrounding waters.
You can only reach the island by boat from neighboring islands or Mayotte's ports. The best time to visit is during the dry season when the sea is calmer.
The island is home to numerous seabirds that nest and breed here. Divers and snorkelers discover colorful coral reefs and abundant fish species in the surrounding waters.
