 The base of the support system centers on development of mangrove forests along the desert coastline.Mangrove trees grow in salt water, provide the base of an entire ecology for aquatic life, and provide lumber for fuel and construction and food for indigenous livestock as camels, goats and sheep.Coupled with Sato's earlier developments in food chain generation for aquaculture, the mangrove forests provide both a land and sea-based economy that once local needs for food and housing are met can be capitalized into a specialty seafood export market.
