SHRIMP FARM AND MANGROVE

Mom looking out the window of a bamboo house built for the shrimp farm workers!

We had to walk through the mangrove to reach some of the pools of shrimp.

Mangroves grow in salty ocean water and protect beaches from erosion.

The long roots reach down into the soil and a new plant emerges!

The little lady in the rear owns the farm.  There are about 10 ponds and about $50,000 in shrimp in each one.  These little ladies are fairly wealthy and donate a lot to their organization to help people with vision problems.

Water is pumped in from the ocean to the shrimp ponds!

Birds like to steal a few shrimp for dinner!
