The main activity for this day was involving the mangroves. In the morning we went to the garden where the baby mangroves were being kept, and picked out the most developed mangroves (54 I believe) to move to the test plot later in the day, when the tide was lower.

We returned later that afternoon around 3pm and then moved the plants to the test plot area. We had to cross the water to get to the location. It was about a 10-15 min walk away from where the garden was located.

Once all the plants were at the test plot location we broke into 3 groups and began to plant the mangroves as directed by the research assistants. Once they were planted we then measured them and documented the number of branches, primary and secondary, and the number of leaves, if any were present.
