Ebrié

Ebrié refers to a lagoon located in Ivory Coast. It is the largest natural lagoon in West Africa, stretching along the coast of Abidjan, the country's economic capital. The lagoon is a significant geographical feature, playing a vital role in the region's ecosystem and economy. It is fed by several rivers, including the Comoé River, and its waters are brackish, a mixture of fresh and saltwater.

The Ebrié Lagoon is divided into several distinct sections, each with its own characteristics. It is a crucial habitat for a variety of aquatic life, supporting fisheries that are essential for local communities. The lagoon also serves as a major transportation route, with numerous boats and ferries navigating its waters, connecting different parts of Abidjan and surrounding areas.

Environmental concerns exist regarding the lagoon, including pollution from urban and industrial waste. Efforts have been made by local authorities and environmental organizations to address these issues and protect the lagoon's delicate ecosystem. The unique environment and economic importance of the Ebrié Lagoon make it a subject of continuous study and conservation initiatives.
