The Mangrove Regeneration Project
Mangrove forests:

- are an important habitat for wildlife
Problems:
- mangroves had been used by farmers as 32
- mangroves were poisoned by the use of 33
- local people used the mangroves as a place to put their 34
Actions taken to protect the mangroves:
- a barrier which was made of 35 was constructed -- but it failed
- new mangroves had to be grown from seed
- the seeds of the 36 mangrove were used
First set of seedlings:
- kept in small pots in a 37
- watered with 38 water
- planted out on south side of a small island
- at risk from the large 39 population
Second set of seedlings:
- planted in the seabed near established mangrove roots
- the young plants were destroyed in a 40
Results:
- The first set of seedlings was successful
