This has been my fourth day in Costa Rica. I have spent one day traveling and two days catching sea turtle. The last day was spent planting mangrove trees. These trees are located in the sand near the tide. It is where the green sea turtles find food. It also gives housing to sea creatures that the hawksbill will eat. We had to first pick seeds off the trees. They were pretty high up so we needed to use poles to knock them down. We picked about seventy. Next we had to take trees that have been growing for about seven months and plant them in the sand. This was a lot of work! Shoveling in the sandy rocks is not easy. We also had to measure the plants and how far they were from the tide and other mangroves. We then planted out seeds in the soil. It is a great feeling to know that there will be a mangrove tree growing in Costa Rica that I planted!
