New Caledonia: strengthened mobilisation for mangrove restoration in Touho
As part of the Kiwa RESMANC project, the Hô-üt association is continuing its mangrove restoration activities at the Amoa site in Touho. Three months after the planting of 2,000 mangroves, a first field monitoring session was carried out at low tide.
The results indicate a 40% survival rate, with young plants significantly affected by plant debris carried by the river. Despite these challenges, the remaining mangroves show an average growth of 23 cm.
In response, teams have initiated replanting operations, replacing some of the dead plants with new seedlings from the nursery. This collective mobilisation, strengthened by exchanges with a delegation from Wallis, highlights the commitment of local stakeholders to restoring coastal ecosystems and enhancing community resilience.
