Join a host-led mangrove seedling planting at Barangay Ermita's tidal edge

The thinning mangrove fringe at Ermita's waterfront needs new seedlings at the mudflat edge, safe only during an organized low-tide session with a site leader. Standard: Ramsar Convention coastal wetland restoration guidance; SDG 15.5 (halt biodiversity loss). Proof: Planting photo + seedling count + leader sign-off Method (Ramsar Convention coastal wetland restoration guidance; SDG 15.5 (halt biodiversity loss).): 1. Join the organized planting session only when the site leader confirms it is running. 2. Follow the site leader's path markers through the shallow mudflat. 3. Plant each mangrove seedling at the spacing and depth the leader demonstrates. 4. Secure the seedling anchor per the session's method. 5. Photograph the planted row and log the seedling count with the leader's sign-off. Done when: Planting photo + seedling count + leader sign-off

Pay

$220 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Planting photo + seedling count + leader sign-off

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–120 minutes. Method of record: NOAA coastal habitat (eelgrass / salt marsh) extent + condition

Bring

• tide table
• GPS phone
• quadrat frame
• measuring tape
• boots/waders
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Check the tide table; plan to work the low tide; tell someone your plan and return time.
2. 2. Navigate to the habitat edge; record GPS waypoints along the patch/edge.
3. 3. Photograph the meadow/marsh at low tide.
4. 4. Record shoot/stem density per quadrat and estimate patch extent (or edge scarp height for marsh).
5. 5. Note condition (epiphytes, dieback, wrack) and adjacent land use/armoring.
6. 6. Enter density, extent, condition, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Soft mud / rising tide -> stop and retreat; safety over data.
• Edge retreat or heavy dieback observed -> flag for living-shoreline / protection planning.

What counts as done

• Density (shoots/stems per quadrat) recorded
• Patch extent or edge position recorded via GPS
• Condition + adjacent-use note recorded
• Low-tide photos + GPS waypoints

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
