Guanacaste Coastline a Haven for Sawfish Breeding

Sawfish, a distinctive and endangered species of fish, find sanctuary in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica, which serves as crucial breeding grounds for these remarkable creatures. With their long, flat snouts adorned with teeth-like projections, sawfish inhabit coastal and estuarine habitats worldwide, including the captivating Guanacaste coast.

The Guanacaste coastline presents an ideal environment for sawfish breeding, owing to its diverse marine ecosystem. Estuaries, where rivers merge with the sea, play a vital role as nursery areas for juvenile sawfish. These estuarine habitats provide a unique combination of fresh and saltwater, which is essential for the early development and growth of these magnificent marine creatures.
