The Ada Bojana estuary at the border with Albania is one of Montenegro's most precious natural areas and a sanctuary for diverse wildlife. This triangular river island was formed in the 19th century following the accumulation of river sediment around a sunken ship, subsequently developing into a unique ecosystem. The confluence of the freshwater Bojana River and the saltwater Adriatic Sea creates an immense variety of habitats. Dense riparian forests and reed beds provide crucial nesting grounds for rare birds, such as the Dalmatian pelican and various heron species. The area is also a vital stopover for migratory birds traveling along the 'Adriatic Flyway'. Its waters host both freshwater and marine fish species, including the rare Adriatic sturgeon. The sandy beaches and dunes are home to specialized flora like the sea daffodil. Despite increasing tourism pressure, the ecological significance of the estuary as a bird sanctuary and a unique hydrological site remains of international importance.
