Raising mudcrab among mangrove trees is profitable as well as environment-friendly. This was shown in a mudcrab technology verification project of Kalibo Save the Mangrove Association (KASAMA), a fishers group in Barangay Buswang Kalibo. The project is in collaboration with the Iloilo based Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC), the local government of Kalibo, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and USWAG, a non-government organization.
