Epe Mangroves, Mangrove ecosystem in Epe, Lagos State, Nigeria
The mangrove forest stretches along the Epe creek, creating a network of waterways through dense vegetation and root systems in brackish waters.
German scientists conducted water quality studies in these mangroves, confirming the freshwater characteristics of this complex coastal ecosystem.
Local communities around the mangroves maintain traditional practices, including cassava processing for garri production and fish market activities.
Visitors can arrange guided canoe tours with life jackets through Mr. Mufu for 4,000 Naira per person, including navigation through the waterways.
The mangrove waters contain a mix of fresh and brackish conditions, supporting diverse wildlife including alligators in specific sections of the creek.
