The river feeds a zone of mangrove swamps linked by creeks and lagoons that is separated from the sea by a low and narrow ridge of sand.[1] Ibeno, on the eastern side of the Kwa Ibo River about 3 kilometres (2 mi) from the river mouth, is one of the largest fishing settlements on the Nigerian coast.[2]
