The plantation process for Mangroves
…..
We harvest the seeds that fall from the trees in February.
Then, the seeds are planted in the nurseries and watered everyday, before being replanted in the mangrove reforestation site in July, where the world day of Mangrove is celebrated (26 July).
The participation of this replantation is open to the people from the village as well as the solidarity tourist.
