Today was spent levelling the 38 plots we shall be planting with a variety of mangroves seedlings over the next 10 days. It was hot tiring work - but sure beats spending time at the gym.
All the plots will be planted with a variety of species, to determine which one best thrives in this environment. One of the really exciting things about this project is that the results of the research - which will be over three years - is groundbreaking and will be used both in Sri Lanka to assist in the management of their mangroves as well as for the managment of other mangroves areas around the world.
