At the Center there is a mangrove information display illustrating the mangrove forest for visitors while giving additional knowledge on the use of these beach plants with respect to the local ecosystem.

The Mangrove forest is under the management of the Ngurah Rai Grand Forestry Park (abbreviated in Indonesian to ‘Tahura’), and covers an area of about 200 ha with an office in the middle of this area. Additionally, there are nursery plots of about 7.700 square-meters, wooden boardwalk trails, huts to rest and floating decks.
