Rhizophora is a genus of tropical mangrove trees, sometimes collectively called true mangroves. The most notable species is the red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) but some other species and a few natural hybrids are known. Rhizophora species generally live in intertidal zones which are inundated daily by the ocean.

It covers about 1,000 acres (400 ha) and has 32 mangrove species growing in its estuary; as a result, it is one of the Philippines' most diverse mangrove forests and is the third largest riverine mangrove forest in Bohol; despite the presence of endangered plant and animal species, there are no conservation or protection efforts.

Very low impact pens created in mangrove areas, with some digging where needed to ensure water is present during low tide, can be used to harvest crabs without damaging the mangrove ecosystem. [11] These usually have one crab per square meter, producing 1,400 kilograms (3,100 lb) per 1 hectare (2.5 acres). [ 15 ]
