Apart from all the turtle research and creating props for the kids days and all the other things that we did, one of the most environmental things we took part in was planting Mangroves. Which doesn’t sound exciting but it was actually a blast!

We planted several test plots among much more mature Mangroves and the reason that they only plant test plots first is to make sure that the area that they have chosen will sustain the plants. Although if the plot is a dud and the plants end up dying then they don’t loose all their plants. This also helps the Sea Turtles in the area thrive because these animals use these mangroves when the tide is high as protection from predators and also a food supply. After all the plants have been planted, they are measured and tied to a bamboo stake in the center of the three plants that are planted to keep them upright and measured to know how much they have grown when they are measured the next time.
