Tanji is a town in Gambia, along the Atlantic coast. It is primarily a fishing town with a population of 14,531 according to the 2013 population census.[1] The population of the town has been growing dramatically due to both urban and rural migration. This is because of its attractive fishing industry and suitable location. The Tanje Village Museum is where artisans and craftsmen engage in traditional crafts.[2] The Tanji Bird Reserve is located 3 kilometers from the village.
