Sungai Udang, Seberang Perai

Tweet

Sungai Udang is a village in Nibong Tebal, in Seberang Perai Selatan. Most of the villages here are fishermen.

The village, Kampung Sungai Udang, is located by the banks of the river of the same name. It meanders through the mangrove area on its way to the sea. To check erosion, the villagers of Sungai Udang embarked on a mangrove replanting programme since 2004. Young seedlings and plants are replanted in the Sungai Udang Mangrove Forest. The forest is an important breeding ground for fish. It also is a nesting place for many species of birds.

During the evening, it is possible to hire a boat into the mangrove to watch fireflies. Due to the limited development of the area, the mangrove trees of Sungai Udang still sustains a dense concentration of fireflies.
