Golfo de Guinea

"El golfo de Guinea es un gran golfo del océano Atlántico oriental localizado en la costa centro-oeste de África. Baña las costas, de oeste a este, de Liberia, Costa de Marfil, Ghana, Benín, Togo, Nigeria, Camerún, Guinea Ecuatorial, Gabón y Santo Tomé y Príncipe. La intersección entre el ecuador y el meridiano de Greenwich (coordenadas 0º 0' 0.0" N, 0º 0' 0.0" E) se ubica en este golfo."

"The Gulf of Guinea is the northeasternmost part of the tropical Atlantic Ocean between Cape Lopez in Gabon, north and west to Cape Three Points in Western region Ghana. The intersection of the Equator and Prime Meridian (zero degrees latitude and longitude) is in the gulf. Among the many rivers that drain into the Gulf of Guinea are the Niger and the Volta. The coastline on the gulf includes the Bight of Benin and the Bight of Bonny. The Niger River in particular deposited organic sediments out to sea over millions of years which became crude oil. The Gulf of Guinea region, along with the Congo River delta and Angola further south, are expected to provide around a quarter of the United States' oil imports by 2015. This region is now regarded as one of the world's top oil and gas exploration hotspots."
