200 Mangroves for Jakarta

Planting 200 mangroves in a sinking city, Jakarta, with support from EarthEcho International, Australian Independent School Jakarta, and the AIS Blue Team.

World Ocean Day 2022

To celebrate World Ocean Day 2022, Brigitta led a group of 15 students from @ais.blueteam - an ocean conservation club at @ais.school - on a mission to plant 200 mangroves and learn from @mangrovejakarta.id!

Brigitta Maria Andrea Gunawan 🇮🇩 on Instagram: "We planted 200 mangroves for World Ocean Day!! But how do mangroves benefit the ocean? Seagrass and coral reef ecosystems depend on mangroves as a shelter for juvenile fish and to hold back sediment and nutrients that would otherwise smother the underwater systems. Without mangroves, the ocean would be a much emptier place!

Last month Brigitta led a group of 15 students from @ais.blueteam - an ocean conservation club at @ais.school - on a mission plant 200 mangroves and learn from @mangrovejakarta.id! It was a great hands-on learning experience and we can't wait to witness the positive impact these mangroves will bring to the community and the environment. #OceanEcho30x30 📷: Year 12 students (and teacher!) from IB Film class at Australian Independent School"
