Sandwich
Harbour is the name of a fresh water lagoon along the Namibian Atlantic
Coast which is about 40km south of Walvis Bay. Its wetlands, which are
protected by the extends of the Namib Dunes, are supplied by springs of
brackish water at the foot of those dunes. The reed grown areas around
the lagoon is inhabited by large colonies of seabirds like Flamingos,
Sea Swallows, Pelicans and Cormorants. Since 1979 the lagoon is part of
the Namib-Naukluft National Park. |
