French: Parc national du banc d'Arguin
The Banc d'Arguin National Park is a World Heritage site in Mauritania defined by the UNESCO in 1989 and definitely a recommended natural sightseeing Location.
It is on position 110 (540, 334) in our monthly survey..

"Fringing the Atlantic coast, the park comprises sand-dunes, coastal swamps, small islands and shallow coastal waters. The contrast between the harsh desert environment and the biodiversity of the marine zone has resulted in a land- and seascape of outstanding natural significance. A wide variety of migrating birds spend the winter there. Several species of sea turtle and dolphin, used by the fishermen to attract shoals of fish, can also be found."
