HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Kosi Bay, located in the northeastern part of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, has a rich geographical history shaped by its unique coastal and lagoon systems. It is part of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its extensive estuarine and marine ecosystems. Historically, the area was shaped by natural processes of sediment deposition, tidal influences, and the movement of the nearby Mfolozi River, which contributed to the formation of the interconnected lakes and channels. Indigenous communities, particularly the Tsonga and Zulu peoples, have inhabited the region for centuries, utilizing its resources for fishing and subsistence. Geologically, Kosi Bay's landscape has been influenced by the ongoing dynamics of sedimentation, coastal erosion, and the shifting of sand dunes, which have helped preserve its pristine environment and diverse habitats over time.
