Current land use :
During June-July, the longest period of day-time low tide (approximately for 7
hours), there are 200-300 mollusk harvestors (both locals and outsiders) harvesting
Solen regularis at 1 kg/hr/person on average or altogether 1,360-3,025 kg/day.
During October-December, the period of nighttime low tide, harvestors spread lime
solution over mudflats to collect mollusks, which can not be considered as a wise use
technique. Apart from capture of Solen regularis, capture and culture of Anadara sp.
and Pema viridis are also key land use activities. Surrounded areas are agricultural
and residential areas.
