Jubail Mangrove Park Map: Planting mangroves Enquire / book More episodes Related: abu dhabi
The UAE is 50-something years old; its mangroves are far older. Paris joins the drive to plant 50,000 trees for the country's 50th anniversary at Jubail Mangrove Park in Abu Dhabi.
Brian Parry of Quest for Adventure guides him through the waterways and explains how mangroves cope with salt water and gritty sand, starting with their roots.
Then the digging. Paris names his tree Elvis; his fellow planter goes with Ringo. Trees can be tagged and found again for years. The episode ends on the biggest threat to mangroves: construction and human activity.
