Silagon Mangrove Eco-Park: A crew Escape to Ajuy
Excerpt
Mangroves are a highly valued resource in the province of Iloilo. They are mostly found along Iloilo’s coastline. The most extensive mangroves are in the northern district, with the town of Ajuy having one of the most luxuriant mangrove covers. Ajuy is also home to a diversity of marine organisms. One of the most valuable features of its biodiversity is the presence of a mangrove ecosystem. The town is an ecotourism excursion destination that visitors should include in their itineraries when making plans to explore Iloilo.
