Flora
The Gewa (Euphorbiaceae) tree is the dominant woody species in the Sanctuary. The other tree found abundantly is the Sundri (Heritiera fomes) tree. In areas where the Sundri tree does not regenerate effectively a dense understory is artificially created to enable growth.
Environment
Salinity levels vary greatly between seasons. This possibly represents an area of relatively longer duration of moderate salinity.
