Placencia Mangrove Restoration

During 2008 and 2009 approximately 17,000 mangroves were either planted or transplanted at developed sites, cayes or shrimp farms in the Placencia area with funding from the world wildlife fund and logistical help from the Southern Environmental Association. Some of those planting sites are marked by signs like this one, held here by Adrian Vernon, Tim Smith and John Cheeseman.
