The Volta River ends up in the Gulf of Guinea between the villages of Anyanui in the Volta Region and Ada Foah in Greater Accra. The estuary is characterized by forests of red and white mangroves which are home of a variety of bird, reptile and mammal species. Around the estuary, communities are engaged in tradtional fishing practices and get their fresh catch of the day on land early morning beneath the shadow of scattered palm trees.
