This local authority is situated at the mouth of the Kuiseb river. It is a rich fishing area with large flocks of pelicans, while the shield has been so partitioned as to represent the Kuiseb river flowing into the sea from the adjacent desert. This river, in fact, seldom flows but it is the thought that counts. | This local authority is situated at the mouth of the Kuiseb river.
