The Gambia's Ramsar information sheet describes six major bolons between Salikeni and Katchang, linking tidal estuaries, mangrove forest, saltmarsh and savanna. Its roughly 20,000 hectares were designated in 1996. [ramsar-baobolon] [ramsar-gambia]
Local dyking retained rainy-season fresh water for rice, while creeks and mangroves supplied fish and materials. Those documented uses show a managed landscape, although a 1996 survey cannot certify conditions three decades later. [ramsar-baobolon]
