The presence of these mangrove forests in these villages indicates the importance of fishing area and the abundance of the Scylla serrata species in these areas (Figure 14). The main fishing technique adopted by fishermen in these areas is shore fishing carried out during low water using the fishing technique (magnilo). The latter consists of searching for crabs feeding on the mud, between the roots of mangrove trees using a harpoon.

While these products could bring great growth to the areas (Figure 15). This fishing is practiced only by men whose equipment used during the diving fishing operation as nets, landing nets, mask, fins, tuba and gloves (Figure 10).
