Français: Les marais de Kaw sont une vaste zone humide à l'ouest de Cayenne idéal pour l'observation d'espèces de vasière, mangrove mais aussi ripicoles. La rivière de Kaw, située sur la commune de Régina, traverse le magnifique paysage de la réserve naturelle des marais de Kaw. L’embouchure est idéale pour les espèces de mangrove et de vasière, tandis qu’en amont, la crique Wapou est intéressante pour les espèces ripicoles. Le canal du Roi qui relie la rivière de Kaw à l’Approuague est également intéressant, mais il n’est pas praticable tout au long de l’année.
