Completed (successful/maintained)

Country: Vietnam

Goal

Technique: Planting mangroves (seeds, seedlings or propagules) Two Melaleuca (Melaleuca cajuputi) fences (wave barrier and silt trap fences) were designed and set up for testing their effectiveness in assisting mangrove restoration in the erosion-prone area of the Kien Giang Province. An experimental site was set up in 2009 encompassing an area of approximately 2.2 ha (360 m long and 60 m wide). Three treatments including two designs of Melaleuca fencing in association with plan Spatial extent 22000 ha as reported. Reported project duration 3,0 year(s). Average survival 44,0% 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.
