Today, when the tide rises, seawater floods the swamp outside the embankment, covering the roots of the mangroves so that the trees seem to grow out of the water, while at low tide the mud teems with shrimps, crabs and mudskippers, and shorebirds and waders fly in across the embankment in search of food.
如今每逢漲潮時分，海水湧入堤防外沼澤，將水筆仔樹根淹沒在潮水中，宛如一片水中森林；退潮時泥灘裸露，蝦蟹彈塗魚蠢動，鷸 6 科、鷺科鳥兒就紛紛飛過堤防來覓食。
