Marowijne District, Administrative district on the northeastern coast of Suriname.
Marowijne District spans 4,627 square kilometers between the Atlantic Ocean and French Guiana, featuring rivers, tropical forests, and coastal settlements.
The district experienced major changes when bauxite mining operations commenced in the early 20th century, transforming Moengo into an industrial center.
The district contains numerous Maroon settlements, established by descendants of escaped plantation slaves who maintain their traditional practices and social structures.
Transportation within Marowijne relies on the East-West Link road connecting to Paramaribo and water routes along the district's multiple rivers.
The region houses sea turtle nesting grounds in Galibi, where multiple species come to lay eggs on protected beach sections.
