With the coastal development continuing day by day, the room available for WBSE, in particular its breeding habitat, is taken away piece by piece.
Without in-depth understanding on their ecology, it would be difficult to comprehend their tolerance to the threat that human poses. For the survival of WBSE as well as sustainability of the coastal development, environment management parties will need more information to support formulation of conservation action and decision making on impact assessment. In this regard, continuous monitoring and further research are needed.
