2.6.3 Silviculture and canal
Large reforestation projects for mangroves, involving silviculture, are typically
undertaken by government organizations. Arrangements for leasing areas for mud crab
aquaculture are normally undertaken on a community basis.
If a variety of silviculture areas are available for lease for farming, those with larger
mangroves will likely have more natural feed associated with their more advanced root
systems and so would be preferred for farming.
