Mohéli with a population of 38,000 is the smallest island in the archipelago, measuring 50 km west to east and just 20 km north to south, but it has the Comoros' largest biodiversity, over land and under the sea.

On 19 April 2001, the first protected area in this country – Mohéli Marine Park – was gazetted. This was the culmination of a unique process by which the local communities in the ten villages around the park boundaries negotiated a collaborative arrangement with the government for the establishment and management of the park.

Fomboni is the third largest city in the Comoros and the capital of the island. There is no port but a jetty, you have to anchor off. The holding in the anchorage is good in sand and mud, although the swell is continual and uncomfortable as this is an open roadstead.
