Assisted Regeneration of Mangroves and Beach Forests

ESSC recognizes the key role that owners of beach houses, sea-side properties, abandoned ponds and beach resorts can now play in making a difference for the Philippine environment. The ESSC mangrove webpage is an on-line resource providing the above stakeholders with practical guides for selecting, planting, and propagating trees and caring for the beach forest and mangrove ecosystems in private properties.

Mangroves make up a unique ecosystem of plant and animal life. Being highly adapted to the salty and flooded conditions, mangal trees are the only kinds that survive and thrive under these harsh environments of sea-side swamp regions.
