Identified Mangrove Site

Today we visited the GPS in Koloa and gave a presentation on mangroves. Winnie and Karen explained where mangroves grow and why they are important. Then we drew a picture on the blackboard explaining how we will be planting new mangroves in a fenced area. The kids were really eager to learn more and participate by growing their own plants.

After school we all walked down to the beach with some women from Koloa to look if the mangroves were ready to seed. The kids walked arm in arm, and we improvised to the tune from the Wizard of OZ singing "we're off to see the mangroves!"

We decided the mangroves weren't quite ready to be planted, so some of us will return to Koloa to take a look next week....
