Mayumba National Park, Marine national park in southwestern Gabon.
The park extends 15 kilometers into the Atlantic Ocean and contains 60 kilometers of beaches, dunes, savannas, and rainforests between Mayumba and Congo.
The National Agency for National Parks established Mayumba National Park in 2002 to protect marine habitats and coastal ecosystems in southwestern Gabon.
Local fishermen catch large tarpon weighing over 150 pounds in Mbanio Lagoon, maintaining traditional fishing practices within designated areas of the park.
Visitors can observe leatherback turtles nesting from October to March, with peak activity occurring between December and January on the protected beaches.
The waters of Mayumba National Park host ten percent of the global humpback whale population during their migration period from June through October.
