The Keta Lagoon Complex, which has management area
of 1200km² and lagoon area of 300km²,
has been established as a wetland protected area
(Ramsar site) with multiple-use management and significant
local participation. Apart from the conservation
objective of protecting thousand of migratory birds,
the mangrove forest and breeding grounds of sea
turtle, it has tourism potential.
The Keta Lagoon with its brackish waters is the
largest lagoon in Ghana. Its tiny islands provide
sites of special attraction for Ornithologists,
bird watchers and tourists in general. The site
is however yet to be developed to receive tourists.
It is our hope that the information that we have
provided above gives enough insight into the Ghanaian
wildlife resources.
