Completed (successful/maintained)

Country: USA

Goal

Technique: Hydrological restoration - facilitation of a natural recovery, planting Mangrove of 3 species were restored and monitored in 3 x 5.5 m plots at 4 sites, where 5 trees of each species were randomly selected and marked. Rhizophora mangle was planted and two other species (Avicennia germinans and Laguncularia racemosa) recruited naturally to the site. Data on survival, reproduction, stress condition, height, and trunk diameter were monitored between 1989 and 2000. Monitoring sites were chos Spatial extent 300 ha as reported. Reported project duration 11,0 year(s). Average survival 81,5% as reported.

A variable shows "pending" instead of a contribution when no domain area has been set for it yet — the share of the world a project touched cannot be computed without one. The health percentages are accurate regardless.
