Keta
District
Keta is part of the Volta estuary region, comprising several
small islands and a complex of lagoons.
The area is abundant with bird, fish and butterfly species and
also the endangered waterbuck.
The Keta Lagoon Complex is the largest wetlands site in Ghana
covering 1,200 sq. km. from the eastern shores of the Volta River
to the international border with the Republic of Togo.
The Keta Complex, which was established in 1993, supports the
largest
inland fisheries on the coastal zone of the country. Other principle
economic
activities within the site are shallot farming through irrigated
agriculture and
mat, hat and fan weaving from reeds along the lagoon banks. These
activities generate significant income for local residents.
