Nariva River

The Nariva River is a freshwater body located in Trinidad, flowing through the Nariva Swamp, one of the largest wetlands in the Caribbean. It plays a vital role in supporting diverse ecosystems, including mangroves, birds, and aquatic life. The river's freshwater flow helps maintain the health of the swamp and provides important resources for local communities, such as water for agriculture and fishing. It also acts as a natural barrier, protecting inland areas from flooding and erosion. Overall, the Nariva River is crucial for environmental balance and the sustainability of the region’s biodiversity.
