Januari 2003, the park is managed by the Johor National Parks Corporation*. (*

Its 8 kilometres shoreline borders
the Straits of Malacca. The park also supports a wide variety of flora and
fauna.
The Long-tailed Macaque peered
cautiously as we sauntered across the boardwalk. It’s mischievous grin
plastered all over its face. Be wary of the monkeys, sometimes peering from the
treetops and sometimes following you about the park, probably in search of
food. Just don’t get too friendly with them.
There are also other species of
monkeys here such as the Dusky leaf monkey, shy and elusive to see. There are
however sea gulls roaming the skies above the park, and other migratory birds.
Look too, for the mischievous hermit
crab sliding in the muddy soil; little molluscs like creature scamper about
looking for food while the tide recedes. There are lizards, cockles, and the
jumpy mudskipper – the mangrove is indeed, an amazing ecological haven!
Park rangers are frequently roaming
around the park on their trusty bicycles, ensuring the safety of visitors’ to
the park.
Spending a day at the park is
certainly a refreshing experience. The soothing calm of the waves and the
endless greenery is spot on for nature enthusiasts. Do remember to read the
following tips, and you’re set for a wonderful mangrove experience!
