The Densu Delta Protected Area

About this business

The Densu Delta Protected Area is a park near Accra, Ghana, covering about 5,893 hectares. It is a wetland area made up of a lagoon, salt pans, marshes, dunes, and mangrove trees. The area is important for many water birds like egrets, plovers, and terns, which feed and nest there. The Densu River brings fresh water to the delta and supplies half of Accra's drinking water. People living nearby depend on the delta for fishing, collecting firewood, and salt mining. The area helps protect the shoreline and keeps the environment healthy.
