 Abandoned Shrimp Ponds: Options for Redevelopment of Mangrove
In Vietnam, of an estimated original 250,000 ha of mangrove in the Mekong delta, by 1988 there only remained an approximate 93,502 ha, and of the 156,498 ha lost, approximately 60,000 ha of these were cleared between 1985 and 1988 for shrimp farm development (Thoc 1995).
In Samut Sakhon large tracts of abandoned shrimp ponds are being converted to non-agricultural land use, such as for housing estate and industrial developments.
An interesting venture that may still be an attractive option to shrimp farmers is crab culture or renting the land to other culturists, thereby avoiding the risk of monetary loss should the culture fail.
