Area around Kosi Bay Mouth
Kosi Bay is a series of four interlinked lakes with vegetation ranging from grassland, beach and mangrove forests (five different species of Mangrove trees are found in this area). The Mouth is better known as “the aquarium” because of the clarity of the water and the abundance of fish species. It is also well known for the traditional fish traps built to trap fish moving in and out of the estuary with the tide
