A study was conducted on the Ivorian South-East shoreline, from January 2014 to December 2015, to improve the knowledge of Coastal Birds. Bird counts using the transect transect method identified 140 birds species belonging to 44 families of 16 orders. Nine species are newly observed in this environment. The stand also includes seven species on the IUCN International Red List of Threatened Species, 15 species endemic to the Guineo-Congolese forest biome and two species endemic to the Sudano-Guinean savanna biome. From a biogeographic status point of view, the species are of diverse origins, with 76 resident species, 38 migratory species, 34 of which are Palearctic and 26 are mixed species. At the level of preferential habitat, the stand has a preference for wetlands (57 species) and open habitats (57 species). Twenty-one species are secondary forest birds while 5 species are primary forest birds.
