Quezon seen as PH mangrove haven
Excerpt
In five years, Quezon will be known as the Philippine’s “mangrove haven” with the high survival rate of more than two-million propagules that were mass-planted along the province’s coastal areas in June, an environment official here said on Friday. Manny Calayag, community coordinator of the Quezon-Environment and Natural Resources Office (Quezon-Enro), said the latest compiled report of their monitoring teams showed an average of 80-percent survival rate of the planted propagules. He said the coastal residents were taking care of the propagules to ensure their growth as a result of the education campaign on the importance of the mangrove being waged by the Quezon-Enro.
