The Simpang Pantai Aquaculture Zone, started at end 2006 on the 13.2 hectares area was predicted to produce 8 tonnes of products by the end of this year (ref: BH 6 July 2007). The Sebatu Aquaculture Zones, as per LKIM website, is considered as High Impact Aquaculture Project. These Sebatu and Simpang Pantai Aquaculture Zones are potential tourist attractions for Merlimau. Other attractions could be the mangrove swamps about six kilometers along the flat muddy beach south of Merlimau to the estuary of Sungai Kesang which separates Melacca and Johor. With proper planning, eco-tourism activities can be established without destroying the fauna and flora of the swamps.
