Bwejuu Island (Kisiwa cha Bwejuu, in Swahili) is an island of the Mafia Archipelago located in Kilindoni ward of Mafia District in southern Pwani Region of Tanzania. After Jibondo Island, which is to its east, the island is the fourth largest in the archipelago. Mafia Island is to the east, and the Mafia Channel is to the west and south of the island.[1][2]
The island is part of the Mafia Island Marine Park. A green sea turtle that had nested and been tagged in the Comoros in 2001 was willingly released by a gillnet fisherman on Bwejuu Island in August 2002. This was the first turtle that had been seized on Mafia Archipelago that had been released voluntarily.[3]
