Their strong commitment to learning about protecting the blue carbon ecosystem led them on an epic journey lasting over 36 hours, which included boat rides, road trips, and air travel.<\/p>\n<p>For most of the group, this trip marked their first time venturing outside their hometowns. They were filled with enthusiasm to explore various community-led mangrove forest sites in East Java, eager to gain insights into sustainable management practices to take back to their communities.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30453\" style=\"width: 1378px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30453\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30453 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2023\/09\/5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1368\" height=\"912\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2023\/09\/5.jpeg 1368w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2023\/09\/5-536x357.jpeg 536w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2023\/09\/5-725x483.jpeg 725w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2023\/09\/5-98x65.jpeg 98w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2023\/09\/5-450x300.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2023\/09\/5-1300x867.jpeg 1300w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2023\/09\/5-300x200.jpeg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1368px) 100vw, 1368px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1368px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1368\/912;\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-30453\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mangrove forests in Indragiri Hilir, Riau.

As we looked out of the car window, we mostly saw skyscrapers and concrete jungles. The mangrove trees appeared to be elusive, thriving only in certain lesser-known parts of its coastal areas.<\/p>\n<p>On Madura Island, located just north of Surabaya, there is a rehabilitated mangrove site covering approximately 1,500 hectares. Here, a local conservation group known as Madura Mangrove Care Group (KPMM) employs an innovative technique of planting mangrove seedlings in groups, placing four to five seedlings in each hole. This method is designed to enhance the survival rate of the plants.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30465\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30465\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30465 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2023\/09\/Mangrove-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1131\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2023\/09\/Mangrove-scaled.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2023\/09\/Mangrove-505x357.jpg 505w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2023\/09\/Mangrove-683x483.jpg 683w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2023\/09\/Mangrove-92x65.jpg 92w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2023\/09\/Mangrove-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2023\/09\/Mangrove-1300x919.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2023\/09\/Mangrove-300x212.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/1131;\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-30465\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The mangrove trekking in Wonorejo (left), and the mangrove syrup (right).
