Chennai you are looking at the newly planted fabulous mangrove green belt in the heart of the city at Adyar !
As part of our passionate Mangrove Mission drive, the Tamil Nadu Forest Department has planted 5,000 mangrove saplings across 5 hectares, adding a shining green jewel to city’s biodiversity heritage.
At the Adyar Estuary near Broken Bridge, the Chennai Forest Division has created a fishbone with three main canals and 62 distribution canals across the Battle of Adyar Island.
To protect these from grazing 582 metres of fish nets and even used sarees have been fixed as barriers.
This initiative will contribute to shielding Chennai’s coast from cyclones and sea-level rise.
Kudos to Chennai DFO and his dedicated team :
