Mabamba Bay Wetland is about 2424 hectares on the shores of Lake Victoria. It is located on the shores and contains open water with a large open marsh of miscanthus and papyrus that make the swamp rich in species, particularly in birds including the globally threatened Shoebill, large congregations of migrants such as Blue Swallow and Papyrus Gonolekss and Papyrus Yellow Warbler. Mabamba Bay is a major breeding site for the Shoebill and is one of the places with the highest concentration of this species in the whole world, with over 12 birds being recorded in one day, over a relatively small area. Mabamba Bay is home to over 300 bird species. It is near to the business capital Kampala and Entebbe, which presents it with bigger opportunities and a high potential for eco-tourism development. The wetland is now designated as a Ramsar site; a wetland of international importance and an Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBA). Aware that this area is one of the known breeding sites for the Shoebill, the community around protects it from all forms of threats
