Achievement at a glance
In 2017, 14 reforestation's were completed that summed up to 1,925 mangrove plants. The reforestation of mangrove plants were done with volunteers and students from the different schools in the communities of Sandy Bay, French Cay, Coxen Hole, Jonesville, Oak Ridge, Pensacola and Brick Bay on the island of Roatan.<br>In 2018, 7 reforestation's have been completed in the communities of Sandy Bay, Coxen Hole, Jonesville and Flowers Bay. A total of 718 mangrove plants have been planted. We will continue to do reforestation in November and December.
<br>
<br>To date, we have planted 2,643 mangroves on the island of Roatan out of the 6,000 committed. We plan to continue planting mangroves this year and continue in 2019. Some of the problems we have encountered to complete the 6,000 is lack of funding for transportation, as well as sites were we can plant mangroves. Unfortunately, most people do not want mangroves planted. Although, in the last year or so we have had more people requesting to be part of the mangrove reforestation program, therefore we expect that in 2019 we can complete the 6,000 mangroves planted.
