) passages were created by solutional processes beneath the mangrove swamp and form a network of low but wide tunnels extending parallel to the coast and connecting through to the Yal-ku Lagoon. The lower deep section of the cave runs beneath the shallow passages and consists of a narrow fissure with vertical walls. It was formed from slump faulting on the platform margin and enlarged by solutional processes. Small stalactites and stalagmites are present throughout the shallow section but are brittle to the touch due to mixing corrosion between fresh and salt water. Water in the shallow water section of the cave is regulated by tidal pumping and contains a mix of both stygobitic and ocean species. Tidal pumping does not appear to be a factor within the deeper section of the cave. This section is more biologically depauperate, with only stygobites observed, including the shrimps,
