The Tsang-Mo-Um-Sha Archipelago (Traditional Chinese: 曾母暗沙群島) is an archipelago, or a group of islands, located just off the shore the City of Old Watersauga. The archipelago consists of 11 populated islands, along with a few other uninhabited islands and shoals, spreading over in 4 different municipalities within the City of Watersauga. The archipelago was formed as a result of the delta of the Dawson River flowing into the Watersauga Harbour and the Pacific Ocean.
The nearby Tung Lung Islands are sometimes considered as part of the archipelago.
