Plot elevation and flooding pattern:


Low elevation / Flooded by all high tides, including Neap high tides

Stagnant water (inc. semi-permanent flooding in active ponds)
Sedimentation: roots buried by sedimentary material, mini delta close to water inlets, visible
increase of sediment elevation in parts of the plot

Other (precise)
 ……..
 ……..
 ……..

Planting density applied: … m x … m


If the plot is a pond, was the pond planting plan applied? Yes/No
What are deviations to the plan observed? ……………………………………………………………… …..
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Number of times the plot was monitored by the owner since plantation: ……………………………..
Number of times the plot was monitored by Yagasu since plantation: ………………………………..

Observed causes of mortality:


Flooding is too frequent (plot is too low or water drainage is disturbed)
Flooding is too rare (plot is too high or water supply is disturbed)
The plot is too exposed to waves and currents, resulting in erosion of the sediment and
unrooting of mangrove seedlings
Sedimentation resulting in increased elevation and decreased flooding, and/or burial of
seedlings by sandy/silty material
Mangrove seedlings damaged by cattle
Logging (precise): clear cut/selective for charcoal/firewood/timber
Conversion (precise): pond/salt pan/housing & infrastructure/palm oil/other agricultural land
Presence of pests and disease (precise): ……………………………………………………….
Other (precise): ………………………………………………………………………………………

Main causes of mortality according to the plot owner:
