The 48,000-ha site is within the proposed World Heritage mangrove forest. It was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve earlier in 1997. At the site, a group of five mature trees, all above 30 cm in dbh and 15‒20 m in height (Figure 2). The trees have a clear bole with bark that is greyish-brown in colour and faintly fissured. Buttresses are up to a metre tall. The mangrove palm Nypa fruticans and fern Acrostichum aureum are common in the area.
