This Month in Photo of the Day: Nature


To reestablish mangroves on the island of Bali, workers set out some 1,300 saplings an acre (0.4 hectares); nearly a thousand acres (400 hectares) have been planted. Indonesia's forestry minister says that since the deadly 2004 tsunami, his people have come to value the protection coastal forests can provide.

thanks Jesse for sending this to me!!

The mangroves reproduces in a unique way,they develop little shoots that float to the new location. I'm photographing them to show you.

The shoot develops into a spear before it drops to the water.

The little floater finds a place to set down roots and gets a start.
