That's good news. That area has been getting raped of its mangroves for decades. Apparently mangrove wood makes very good long burning charcoal.

Still a lot more needs to be done in that area though.

It may be guilt, something to re-plant due to all the re-land claiming I have seen in areas around here. But I am no expert on the matter.
Always "hope" but never "expect".
