About two-thirds of the Park (201 hectares) consists of secondary forest, formed from degenerated mangrove forest. After the coastal bund was constructed, the mangrove trees were unable to compete with dry land species. With the emergemce of the mangrove fern, it became quite impossible for the mangrove trees to florish.
Although there are still some stands of mature mangrove trees, the secondary forest is now dominated by strangling figs, coastal trees like the Cordia dichotama, climbers and the mangrove fern.
