Raising mudcrab in tidal flats with existing mangroves is a feasible and profitable livelihood alternative for fishers. And this is environment-friendly, too. This was confirmed in a mudcrab technology verification project of the Kalibo Save the Mangrove Association (KASAM), a fishers' organization in Brgy. Buswang, Kalibo, Aklan, in cooperation with the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center's aquaculture department, the local government of Kalibo, the CENRO of the DENR, and USWAG, a non-government organization.
