Vegetation and land cover
Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis has three main vegetation types: mangrove, savannah woodland, and tropical forest. The tropical forest is predominately found around the northern parts of the Metropolis and stretches to the east, covering a large part of it. The savannah woodland is dotted around the middle belt, and mangrove vegetation is found along the southern portion. Along the coast, the Butua and Essei lagoons and the Whin and Kansawora rivers dissect the coastal landscape. The Kansawora River flows towards Butua La- goon creating an extensive beautiful marshland.
