It is located in the midst of agriculture and fishing villages that can offer eco-tourism and environmental education for the visitors. It is a unique situation where the wetland mangroves are preserved and provide eco-tourism opportunities and homestay programs that could support the local economy. Efforts by the locals and the government to support local economy by proposing homestay programs initially look promising during the early establishment of the wetland mangroves However, factors such as lack of coordination, poor partnership arrangement and lack of marketing strategies have resulted in a less than successful return for eco-tourism.
