benepisyo sa proyekto sa pagpananom og balik sa mga mangrove para sa atong komunidad?)

conservation initiatives? (Unsa nga mga pamaagi ang inyong nakita nga labing epektibo sa pag-awhag sa mga miyembro sa komunidad nga

implemented to enhance this awareness? (Giunsa ninyo pagtimbang-timbang ang karon nga lebel sa kahibalo sa komunidad mahitungod sa

For Community Volunteers:
● Have you ever personally participated in a mangrove planting or conservation activity? If so, what was your experience like? If not, what were

gikan sa proyekto sa pagpahiuli sa mangrove sa taas nga termino?)
Results/Analyzation/Findings:
The results from the interview with the people of Barangay Balet showed a positive outlook on the community's involvement in protecting the mangrove
area. The respondents responses and commitment to safeguarding the mangroves suggest a willingness to collaborate on restoration efforts. The
respondents also highlighted a critical financial challenge, as the barangay official explicitly requests government support to sustain the mangrove cleaning
efforts and promote their successful growth. This demonstrates a clear need for external assistance in achieving the restoration goals. The respondents
statement also showed that the community is aware of the importance of mangrove protection and its benefits, likely due to the mangrove's role in
safeguarding houses near the beach line. Moreover, the respondents also mentioned that there are different mangroves present in their area which shows
that their area is capable of growing different types of [Link], the respondents also stated that to preserve the cleanliness and to increase
the chance of the propagules to grow in their protected habitat, the people, specifically the officials, government, etc. needs to unite for them to achieve
their goal to preserve and ensure to grow mangroves properly.
