From Wikipedia
The Littoral Region (French: Région du Littoral) is a region of Cameroon. Its capital is Douala. As of 2004, its population was 3,174,437. Its name is due to the region being largely littoral, and associated with the sea coast.
The Douala Edéa Wildlife Reserve is in the region.
Divisions
The region is divided into four departments (départements):
Nkam, with its capital at Yabassi.
Moungo, with its capital at Nkongsamba.
Sanaga-Maritime, with its capital at Édéa.
Wouri, forming the area around the major city of Douala.
These are in turn broken down into subdivisions. Presidentially appointed senior divisional officers (préfets) and subdivisional officers (sous-préfets) govern each. Traditional leaders, usually referred to as chiefs in English, often preside over particular ethnic groups or villages; nevertheless, many of these wield very little power today.
