Guano Platform


Approximately 9 km north of Walvis Bay, the guano platform is believed to be the only place in Namibia where eastern white pelicans breed. 

The wooden platform bobbles in the sea and acts as a roost for Cape, whitebreasted and crowned cormorants.

The guano collected is used as fertilizer, yielding an annual 1,000 tons.
