New Caledonia: 2,000 propagules collected to restore the mangroves in Amoa

A propagule collection operation was carried out by the Kiwa RESMANC team ahead of an upcoming planting session.

A total of 2,000 healthy propagules were gathered to maximise the chances of successful seedling establishment.

This year, the particularly abundant fruiting of stilt mangroves (Rhizophora sp.) provides ideal conditions to strengthen ongoing coastal ecosystem restoration efforts. The team also took the opportunity to conduct a waste clean-up in the bay of Kokingone tribe, helping protect this fragile environment.
