The 1570-meter-long Dau Mwoakote Channel cuts through the mangroves, which, except in the west, is only a few meters wide.

It belongs to Sokehs Municipality and lies to the west of Kolonia.

[2] Settlements from south to north include Reou, Ahseia, Soledi, Kamwele, Mwalok, Roie, Naneir, Peilong, Kepindau, and Danipei.

It was also the site of Sokehs Rebellion, an uprising by islanders in October 1910 against colonial German rule.

The uprising was suppressed in early 1911, leading to the execution of 15 rebels and the exiling of several hundred Sokehs islanders to Palau.
