Kenya Mangroves Restoration

Planters have been trained to constantly check quality and maturity of propagules as they are key to higher survival and greater resilience against threats such as storms and grazing crabs during early stages of establishment.

Avicennia marina seedlings ready for distribution within the planting site. This species has a relatively fast growth rate and high survival potential, particularly when seedlings are first raised and established in a nursery before being transplanted to the restoration site.

Planters carefully plant mangrove seedlings as part of efforts to restore degraded coastal areas and revive the mangrove ecosystem

The project promotes gender inclusion and participation across different age groups, with elderly planters also actively and enthusiastically participating in the planting activities.
