Can I have your opinion on this, guys? it is about coastal mangrove areas. It is suggested, and I agree, to map mangrove areas as inland (inside the coastline). But I encountered the mangrove areas at Alburquerque, Bohol and the mangroves (seen on wms Lansat) are currently lying on the ocean side

If you really must go to Laurel via the Diokno Highway (also known as the Payapa route), there is a sign a little after Canyon Woods that points to Laurel. it would basically be all downhill from there. So, From travelling from Canyon Woods to Laurel would be easier that from Laurel to Canyon Woo
