• Nech Sar National Park (Lake Chamo / Lake Abaya reserve waters)national park / freshwater reserve

  Nech Sar National Park (established 1974) covers parts of Lake Chamo and Lake Abaya in southern Ethiopia, including the 'Bridge of God' isthmus between them. The portion of the lakes claimed by the park is restricted from fishing and serves as a reserve area for the fishery; under Proclamation No. 315/2003 Art. 5(3) any fishing inside a national park requires a written permit, and illegal fishing here is treated as a threat to the park's crocodile and waterbird populations. Center point placed on Lake Chamo. (Landlocked country - freshwater, not marine.)
