Costa Rica is a naturally diverse country with some of the most beautiful ecosystems in the world, which are habitats to many species; but after the earthquake in 2012, and a series of unfortunate events that came after it, the mangrove in Avellanas dried up and died, which also caused the death of many organisms. After consulting with biologists, scientists and community members, we created a mangrove nursery to grow seedlings which we will plant directly into the mangrove during our final event, with hopes to restore the mangrove. Our next step is to care for the mangroves in the nursery while planning our event in collaboration with ConnectOcean; to bring together a group of passionate individuals to help us with the restoration process, while teaching them about the global importance of mangroves and holding several interactive and entertaining activities!
