The field team closed the August cycle with 6.2 additional hectares planted in the northern block at Muara Gembong. Re-surveying in the final week showed canopy starting to close over plots planted back in February — a sign that choosing planting points from the elevation model is doing what we hoped. The local mangrove growers group now handles propagule preparation on its own, freeing the drones to concentrate on the heavier substrate in the southern block.
