Goal

Technique: Planting mangroves (seeds, seedlings or propagules) More than 42,000 nursery plants and 44,000 propagules have been planted for forest restoration in the area where the Texaco Refineria Panama spilled over 8 Mio liters of crude oil in 1986. Here: propagules were planted at oiled sites 12 months after spill. 48-mm in diameter holes were made in the oiled soil and holes filled with nursery soil, to which fertilizer was added. Survival was monitored after 13 months. No spatial extent reported. Reported project duration 1,1 year(s). Average survival 95,0% as reported.
