MARINE PHANEROGAMMA A NEW SOLUTION FOR THE PRODUCTION OF MANG SEEDLINGS FOR REFORESTATION.

Abstract

Mangroves are home to a great deal of biodiversity, but they are undergoing major environmental degradation. Based on this premise, the objective was to develop a low cost mangrove seedling production system for the affected mangrove areas using marine phanerogams (marine grasses) as a cultivation substrate. A study proved that the marine phanerogamous when decomposed ensures a good development of the plants and will be of great help for the mangrove reforestation in the
Brazilian coast.
