The WBCP was invited by Pacific Farms to survey their 500-hectare salt farm as a potential site for the annual Asian Waterbird Census for Region 1.

Waders in breeding plumage littered portions of the salt fields while the fringing hillsides harbored a variety of common open field and forest species
