The Langue de Barbarie is a thin, sandy peninsula, adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, located in western Senegal, in the neighbourhood of the city of Saint-Louis.[1]. The peninsula separates the ocean from the final section of the Senegal River. It is also the location of a national park, the Parc National de la Langue de Barbarie, which is home to an abundant variety of bird species[2].
