Sixty Day Field Test

We have made the decision to move the previously thirty day field test to sixty days for several reasons. The first being the general growth of the mangrove propagules. Mangrove propagules have a forty day gestation period from the time the drop before they begin rooting. There is then a three week rooting process and potentially another five before the propagules begin to sprout leaves. In a thirty day test, the only results that would be visible would be the sustainability of a propagule which, although important, does not give the study enough information to find substantial results. If the study is to be shared with the community and surrounding schools, definitive data needs to be conducted on a much broader scale over a longer period of time.
