Zambezi Delta

Estuaries and Deltas

The delta of the Zambezi River on Mozambique's Indian Ocean coast, a large expanse of mangrove and floodplain wetland shaped in part by discharge patterns from the upstream Cahora Bassa Dam. It supports significant fisheries and wildlife habitat despite substantial upstream alteration of the river's natural flow.
