​In the picture below the Comensum Group, part of the Equator Initiative​(www.equatorinitiative.org/2017/06/21/community-environmental-sustainable-mariculturecomensum/)
The initiative is promoting the planting of mangroves on bear tidal flats through scooping of silt from the ridges due to soil erosion from the farms. Scooping of silt enhances root development and general growth of the mangroves. This has proved all bear tidal flats can be rehabilitated to a mangrove plantation.
The flora and fauna are slowly being restored, providing a potential site for ecotourism.
