Jiquilisco Bay
}}
The Jiquilisco Bay Biosphere Reserve is located on the southeast Pacific coast of El Salvador, in the department of Usulután. Jiquilisco Bay's mangrove-lined inlets offer some of El Salvador’s most untouched natural beauty. The bay hosts the largest abundance of coastal-marine birds in the El Salvador, many of which are threatened or endangered. Over 80 species of migratory birds visit the area to feed on the bay’s plentiful bounty of fish, which include species such as snook, red snapper and corvina. Exploring the bay’s many islands, mangrove canals and desolate beaches is truly awe-inspiring. The natural beauty of Bahia Jiquilisco has recently led to an increase in eco-tourism in the area.
==Information on the Reserve==
The Bahia Jiquilisco Biosphere Reserve was declared a RAMSAR site RAMSAR on October 31, 2005. The Reserve covers approximately 400 km2, including 50 km of coastline, and is located between the mouth of the river Lempa and the Jucuarán mountain range. The main canal leading into the bay measures over 43 km long and 3 km wide.
The Reserve contains the largest mangrove estuary in El Salvador and includes numerous bays, canals, sandy beaches, islands, forests and a freshwater lagoon complex. Bahia Jiquilisco plays an important role in the prevention of disasters (floods, earthquakes), erosion control, and soil retention. It also serves as an important rookery for larval and juvenile development stages for many high-value commercial marine species. Various small communities border the bay’s waters and local people benefit from the area’s high natural resource abundance. The area also hosts important livestock rearing, shrimp farming and agricultural activities.
