Densu Delta Ramsar Site

The Densu Delta Ramsar Site is a coastal wetland of international importance located at the mouth of the Densu River in southern Ghana, where the river meets the Gulf of Guinea. The site encompasses an interconnected mosaic of lagoons, mangrove forests, salt pans, and tidal marsh ecosystems that reflect the dynamic influence of river, tide, and sea along Ghana's coastline. Designated under the Ramsar Convention in 1992, the delta covers a substantial area of wetland habitat and is recognized as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International, particularly for its populations of wintering and non-breeding waterbirds. The various lagoon and inlet systems support tern species, egrets, and other migratory shorebirds that rely on the sheltered coastal environment during parts of the year. Beyond its ecological value, the Densu Delta plays a practical role in the wider landscape, acting as a natural flood buffer, sediment trap, and coastal stabilizer that helps protect surrounding communities from erosion and storm surges. It anchors the lower end of a river basin that supplies a large share of Accra's drinking water and supports farming and fishing livelihoods in the coastal zone.
