Gulf of Mottama(GoM), one of the six flyway network sites in Myanmar, was also designated as a Ramsar Site since 2017. This area supports a large number of species including marine fish, invertebrates, and up to 150,000 migratory waterbirds especially during the non-breeding season. The migratory waterbirds include 12 globally threatened species including perhaps 60% of the global population of the the Critically Endangered Spoon-billed Sandpipers. GoM also supports various livelihoods for the thousands of people by providing fish for local and regional consumption.
