Guinea-Bissau Tidal Waters
Tides in Guinea-Bissau's Bijagós Archipelago cause its islands and islets to expand and shrink twice daily.
Why it matters
The shifting landmasses affect the archipelago's environmental characteristics and how its waters are navigated.
The details
- The Bijagós Archipelago consists of 88 islands and islets.
- Mudflats and sandflats emerge from the sea during low tide.
- NASA imagery captured this process on Nov. 28, 2025.
