| | Mauritania ha designado su tercer Humedal de Importancia Internacional |
 | | El sitio cumple los Criterios de singularidad y biodiversidad, así como el umbral del 1% para las aves acuáticas (6); (varias especies, entre ellas Pelecanus onocrotalus, Phoenicopterus ruber, Larus genei, y Recurvirostra avosetta, cumplen ese criterio), así como el Criterio 8 relativo a la importancia de las reservas pesqueras. |
 | | Behind a ca.10km strip of coastal dunes, in some areas with a cover of Sahelian-type vegetation, the site includes a number of wetland types, from both permanent and temporary brackish and saline lakes and pools, estuarine waters, intertidal mud/sand flats and forested wetlands, sandy shores, and intertidal marshes. |
 | | A number of small-scale traditional fishing and transhumant grazing practices are seen in the area, which also receives an annual allotment of fresh water under the management plan of the Diawling Park. |
