'''Ilocos Norte coastal areas band together to protect mangroves'''<br>

LAOAG CITY – A redeveloped mangrove picnic park will be built by the local government unit of Currimao in Ilocos Norte as it enjoins coastal communities to participate in its intensified mangrove rehabilitation project. Located in Barangay Maglaoi Sur, the two-hectare mangrove plantation project was a project of the provincial environment department and other support agencies in 2016. To ensure its maintenance and development, municipal agriculturist and environment officer Ericson Biag designated the Currimao government to be on top of the rehabilitation project, including the development of the picnic park and planting of more mangrove seeds or propagules. "At least 2,000 mangrove propagules were planted at the site on Friday with around 50 participants, mostly locals," he said in an interview on Sunday.
