"Challenge convention, create controversy, change thought."TM
mangrove.org is an Citizen Sector Organization (CSO) providing methodology and technology in mangrove afforestation, restoration and habitat creation. The organization contributes to solutions for poverty, hunger, environmental degradation and pollution. Mangroves provide an opportunity to develop a sustainable economic base for indigenous populations where basic natural resources are scarce. From an abundance of sand and salt water, mangroves feed livestock that supply milk and protein vital to native coastal inhabitants. Mangroves planted in non-native environments offset the ongoing deforestation and other anthropogenic factors that result in global ecological degradation.
Research was undertaken to develop and define a methodology for establishing reproductively mature, self-sustaining, mangrove-stabilized shorelines.
Photos and video clips illustrate mangroves planted with Riley Encased Methodology (REM) for shoreline stabilization and erosion control. Articles published in peer review journals include mangrove habitat creation and restoration as-well-as large scale mangrove afforestation with humanitarian goals. Photos include mature mangroves planted with REM showing the various stages of mangrove plant development from isolation through the adaptation process (videos require RealPlayer software). Coastal resilience, sustainable development technology, Ecology travel or ecotravel and ecotourism are offered in the environmentally rich mangroves of Playa Palo Seco, Costa Rica and Ambergris Caye, Belize. Opportunities to participate in mangrove habitat creation and restoration projects to strengthen coastal resilience and promote sustainable development practices are also offered in Palo Seco, on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, and on Ambergris Caye, Belize. Information on habitat dynamics and the ecological importance of mangroves is provided with links to mangrove planting projects. Empirical evidence of mangroves and mangrove forests created with REM methodology and technology are described with accompanying photographic progress reports. Coastal resilience and sustainable development. A brief summary of the Mangrove Replenishment Initiative is given in Spanish.
