Mangrove Propagation Programme which focused on reforesting the denuded areas. Through the Programme, almost 13 hectares of mangrove forest has been restored. Between 1995 and 1996, about 12,400 seedlings had been planted around the island covering an area of 22,750 square kilometres. The second phase, between 1997 and 1998, witnessed the planting of 47,500 seedlings along the west coast covering an area of 23,750 square kilometres. The third, and fourth phase saw the planting of 40,000 and 58,000 seedlings. To date a total of 214,800 seedlings covering approximately 13 hectares and with a survival rate of 78% had been planted.
Mauritius has over the years optimized the involvement of the communities in mangrove restoration programs and coral reef restoration. Community based coral reef restoration has been possible through the efforts of Mauritius Oceanography Institute which initiated a three-year Community Based Coral Culture Project. The project focused on capacity building and training of coastal communities on reef rehabilitation and coral farming methods.
