Protected area in Guinea-Bissau

The Orango National Park is a protected area in Guinea-Bissau. It was established in December 2000. The park has an area of 1,582 km2 (611 sq mi), which is partly marine. It covers the southern part of the Bissagos Archipelago, notably the islands Orango, Orangozinho, Meneque, Canogo and Imbone, and the surrounding sea. The marine area does not exceed 30 m (100 ft) in depth. The park is administered by Instituto da Biodiversidade e das Áreas Protegidas da Guiné-Bissau. About 160 km2 (60 sq mi) of the park is covered by mangroves. The mangroves play a crucial role for the reproduction of molluscs, fish and sea turtles.
