Opis
The saltworks lie adjacent to the sea on the central Namib desert coast and have been extensively altered to create numerous evaporation ponds. Immediately inland lie the gravel-plains of the Namib desert. The salt pans are shallow and of varying salinity. Apart from a few halophytes, the saltworks are devoid of vegetation.
The area occasionally supports massive numbers of waterbirds, especially Cape Cormorant (up to 45,000 birds) Cormorants aside, the area may support more than 50,000 other waterbirds, including large numbers of Greater Flamingo and Lesser Flamingo, African Oystercatcher, and up to 100,000 Common Tern. Breeding species include Damara Tern and Chestnut-banded Plover.
