With the goal to conserve and increase the biodiversity of mangroves in Bonaire National Marine Park, Stichting Internos will work under the umbrella of the Park Management Authority (STINAPA) on 4 different axes : 1. Improve water circulation within the Lac Bay mangroves forest by way of maintaining and clearing existing channels 2. Establish nurseries to grow red and black mangroves from propagules and green buttonwood (seeds). 3. Expand mangrove forests by planting new plants in degraded areas and along the coast and 4. Increase youth and community awareness and involvement. The project will also contain a pilot study on planting mangroves.
