The
name
of
Île
Boulay
is
applied
an
island
in
the
Ébrié
Lagoon
in
Ivory
Coast.
This
island
is
relatively
unpopulated
(a
bit
over
10,000
people)
and
remains
in
an
undeveloped
state,
considering
their
proximity
to
the
urban
areas
of
Abidjan.
Île
Boulay
is
only
15
minutes
from
downtown
Abidjan
by
boat.
It
contains
vacation
cottages
for
some
of
the
richer
residents
of
the
city.
Water
skiing
is
a
popular
activity
offshore.
Since
2008
there
has
been
a
project
to
extend
the
Autonomous
Port
of
Abidjan
to
the
island,
and
to
build
a
bridge
to
it.
Also
in
2008,
the
government
of
Mali
begin
construction
of
a
warehouse
for
goods
transshipped
through
Abidjan.
These
projects
have
created
considerable
opposition
from
the
local
residents.
The
waters
around
Île
Boulay
have
also
been
affected
by
bacterial
and
chemical
pollution.
