The archipelago consists of about 32 islands, including Ibo, Matemo, Medjumbe, Quirimba, Metundo, Quisiva, Vamizi Island and Rolas Island all going up to the Tanzanian border.[1] HistoryOriginally home to fishing settlements, the islands' population grew around Arab trading posts and thrived under the Portuguese trading routes when it was known as the Ilhas de São Lázaro (Islands of St. Lazarus) during the 16th century. When the Portuguese started occupying cities in the islands such as Ibo, the Arab merchants fled to other parts of the island to operate in.[2] The Arab merchants refused to trade with the Portuguese, in which started an attack resulting in 60 Muslim merchants casualties and property being burnt down.[2] The island was in control by the Portuguese until Mozambique gained independence in 1975. Before independence, only four of the 32 islands were inhabited.[2] Today, many of the islands are inhabited. On May 23, 2014, a mudspill was reported off shore near the Quirimbas Islands which was caused by a drilling rig operated by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation.[3] These islands are known for their diving sites, some up to 400 meters. The Quirimbas National Park, spanning an area of {{convert|7500|sqkm|sqmi}}, includes the 11 most southerly islands, which are partly surrounded by mangroves. The park was established in 2002 as a protected area.[4] World Heritage StatusThe Quirimbas Islands are currently on the tentative list for becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site which was submitted in 2008.[5][6] GalleryReferences1. ^{{cite web|last=Allen|first=Daniel|title=Mozambique: island-hopping by dhow on the Quirimbas archipelago|url=https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2011/dec/15/mozambique-quirimbas-archipelago-ibo-island-lodge|work=The Guardian|accessdate=31 May 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web|last=Duncan|first=Fiona|title=Mozambique: a hide away in the Quirimbas Archipelago|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/africaandindianocean/mozambique/9605216/Mozambique-a-hide-away-in-the-Quirimbas-Archipelago.html|work=The Daily Telegraph|accessdate=31 May 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Mudspill in Mozambique waters|url=http://www.iol.co.za/scitech/science/environment/mudspill-in-mozambique-waters-1.1692806|website=Independent Online (South Africa)|accessdate=1 June 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web |url = http://www.allafricasafaris.com/african_vacations/south_tours/mozambique/mozambiquenationalparks/quirimbas_islands.html |title = Quirimbas Archipelago Islands |work = All Africa Safaris |accessdate = 2011-10-17 |deadurl = yes |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20120318175604/http://www.allafricasafaris.com/african_vacations/south_tours/mozambique/mozambiquenationalparks/quirimbas_islands.html |archivedate = 2012-03-18 |df = }} 5. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Briggs|first=Philip|title=Mozambique, 5th: The Bradt Travel Guide|date=2011-07-05|publisher=Bradt Travel Guides|isbn=9781841623429|pages=323–352}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/5380/|title=The Quirimbas Archipelago - UNESCO World Heritage Centre|first=UNESCO World Heritage|last=Centre|website=whc.unesco.org|accessdate=25 September 2018}} External links
