Women\nare the ones who are in charge of the collection of oyster from mangrove\nforests as well as in the processing of collected oysters. Women have the experience\nin identifying the sites that are still in good condition in regard to the\noyster density and those with low density or exhausted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They usually have the experience to crave\nthe oysters out of their shells using a proper knife.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
