Description of the flag

The provincial flag, as seen during the 2016 inauguration of the President of Gabon, is white with the provincial coat-of-arms occupying 4/5 of the height in the centre.

According to Heraldry of the World, the arms symbolise the exploration of oil, the main source of income in the province. The base of the shield shows the sea, as the province borders the Atlantic Ocean.
