Suriname has a variety of aquatic ecosystems, including rivers, lakes, mangroves and wetlands, which play a crucial role in the environmental balance of the country and the region. Rivers, such as the Suriname and Marowijne, are important for aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity, providing vital habitats for a variety of species, including fish, mammals and birds.

Mangroves, found in coastal areas, act as natural nurseries for fish and crustaceans, protect the coast from erosion and absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide, helping to mitigate climate change. Wetlands, such as the north coast marshes, are important for water cycle regulation, aquifer recharge and flood protection.

These aquatic ecosystems are also vital to Suriname's economy and culture, providing fishing resources, construction materials, tourism, and livelihoods for local communities. Therefore, it is essential to protect and sustainably manage these ecosystems to ensure their long-term conservation and the well-being of future generations.
