From early morning, people go to prepare exploitation of mangrove forest in search of raw materials. With particular the ebb tidal water, so one day, ferries transported away in a time frame, not fixed. In this region they say the water is very important, the water is all worked up, the country still does not do anything. Workers must find suitable mangrove trees age, size, and page artisanal mangrove, mangrove root fractures, loss. This work occupies a lot of time by the vast mangrove forest, each boat trips, one to power space craft operators, shipping transportation of charcoal that way about 20km, all went well on the first day is usually lost, no time to carry out more when they have to stay until the next morning.
