Banc d'Arguin National Park was established in 1976, it was designated a Ramsar Site in 1982 and a World Heritage Site in 1989. It protects 40% of the Mauritanian coastline. Partly as result of a permanent upwelling the area is in global terms extremely important for marine resources and for different species of Palearctic migratory shorebirds.
