Climate discussion aside; it's fantastic that mangroves are being planted throughout it's natural locations. It's extremely important as habitat, it limits land erosion, it cleans the water and it lowers the local temperatures by giving shade. Good luck with the project!
Great project. It isn't easy to walk on mangrove flats even if you aren't being careful about the ecosystem. I'm glad to see Abu Dhabi building forests instead of resorts. I hope they can involve as many locals in the project as possible.
Impressive and unbelievable - the UAE is doing and developing so much in terms of climate change solutions.. Respect from Germany to this great country 🇦🇪🤝🏻
The higher the seeds are dropped from, the deeper they will sink into the sand, up to the terminal velocity of a falling seed. Maybe drop from say 200-300meters up. Great system, love the wooded CNC cut type drone.
Thanks, we utilise our mechanical drive push system that we engineered specifically for mangrove seeds to expel them at speed, along with height and drone speed to have the highest stick rate possible
In cities we need to create super blocks, grids of green corridors where we can remove the concrete, replace it with sand and plant shade trees. 🫴 Many downtown areas are hot because of unnecessary parking that doesn’t allow locals to walk their own neighborhoods.
The data collection and interpretation to select the best place to stick the seed in the mud is far more important than the drone. Yet it is the headline of the video to get viewers. Keep up the real science.
High risk high reward project. Sounds like the best possible team and strategy. Low hanging fruit is more suitable for most places yet it is awesome that thit team is already answering questions that might arise when these kinds of projects are chosen later
Amazing project. I really hope that these trees are growing big in the future. We need such projects all over the world to give our kids the best future related to climate change. ❤
I want to celebrate this but as someone who works in mangroves and reforestation here in Central America, I have questions. The video shows vast mud flats, mud flats occur naturally in many mangrove systems where salinity is periodically so high that not even the most salt-tolerant species can grow. Are we to understand that the seeding is happening across these mud flats? If so, how did such large areas lose their forest cover to begin with? It's essential to identify the cause of forest loss and correct it before reforesting, of course. It'd be so much more valuable a video to explain in more detail how the area became degraded, specifically addressing the vast open areas and distinguishing between naturally occurring mud flats and the degraded areas available for reforesting. The one short segment of a researcher claiming to find a suitable spot for seeding shows her pointing out exactly one seedling tree with a few leaves, tight on the edge of an existing stand of shrubby trees, and using that hint of natural regeneration to indicate a good target area for the drone. Sigh, it's not very clear though, how much of the area behind and around the researcher is really suitable. Cool technology that lets the folks talk about huge numbers of seeds delivered, but my own work shows just how tiny a step is the dropping of a seed compared to the work required to ensure baby trees grow and thrive. HOWEVER: every site and every method is somewhat unique, and the questions I raise here should NOT be taken to mean I predict failure! I would just have appreciated more details.
Abu Dhabi have carried out massive expansion to the city & intrusive construction works on original, previously untouched coastline, islands & inlets which surprise surprise...took out alot of original mangrove habitat... There's alot of PR spin in this feature which fails to mention what's been happening over the past 20 years in Abu Dhabi.
Nope, they don't officially mention it in the video. But it's the UAE and they use Avicennia marina - so it's almost certain those are being import seeds...
Hi, we self harvest all the seeds ourselves from areas in the vicinity of the mangrove planting site using best practices including limited take percentages to allow for natural regeneration to also keep occuring.
Hi we are currently designing other mechanical drives for various other seeds of different proportions. Rhizophora are simpler to plant by hand so we thought we would start with those seeds that are more difficult to plant at scale
@@janeglavan9375 Thanks for the answer The concept of not walking in the plantations is still valid for the elongated seeds. I hope that you have many different species in the forest if that is possible!
Molto bello, speriamo che sia di esempio in altri luoghi, ove un tempo sorgevano le piantagioni di mangrovie. Ogni sforzo deve esser fatto per preservare la natura.
Some of these seeds can be eaten by crabs , it need be grown in a net protected areas , and then can be replanted when it grows into foot long through which height can no longer be reachable by crabs consumption
Like all human interventions, care needs to be taken. Mangroves in the New Zealand climate and ecosystem are controversial. While some see them as creating diverse and fertile ecosystems, in reality in New Zealand, mangroves create a mono species environment which is devoid of life and holding place for anaerobic mud. They aren’t the nursery for fish, instead mangroves replace these places which are the beds of sea grass. Ecosystems are complex and they need to be well understood when restoring. This looks like a really great project though and I hope it meets or exceeds expectations.
@@zainnasir182 Brother since 950 A.D , We have faced Islamic Invasions and 600 Million Hindus have Been Slaughtered by Islamists. So don't blame those that have hate. I don't have hate for anybody who is fair and just I find UAE and Saudi Arabia quite Fair and Just. But even i don't like Qatar and Bahrain who are very Anti-Hindu
Should it be a seed gun instead of a drop ship? If penetration and precision are the goal, seems like an awesome partnership \ challenge for youtubers \ version 2
Hi, it is a self engineered mechanical push drive that we 3D print and which we keep enhancing and modifying as we learn more each year. It expels the propogules about 80 km per hour to increase stick rate

It is literally climate change discussion, every thing about it sweety. Google ignorance

Thanks, we include youth from schools, people of determination, community groups and homeschoolers at each phase of the projects
👍🏾
Im not gonna lie, they answered all of my questions. I think they really try to look at every single thing that could impact project

Good job. This should be happening globally.

Amazing.. mangroves... Sea Grass coral reefs.is our saviours..
Great dovelupment,great work....that's rising world.
What caused the loss of mangroves that I presume were there previously ?
Abu Dhabi have carried out massive expansion to the city & intrusive construction works on original, previously untouched coastline, islands & inlets which surprise surprise...took out alot of original mangrove habitat...
There's alot of PR spin in this feature which fails to mention what's been happening over the past 20 years in Abu Dhabi.
I dont know why, i feel so happy to see ...it worth every penny..Marvelous work...Mashallah let that land flourish ✨️
Mangroves are so cool, this would be awesome to see
Great work!
Great project ❤from India 🇮🇳
Great great project thankyou for the love of nature, please continue this kind of project.
Wonderful work. Well done
Great❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have just bought a orange maple tree I be planting in my backyard theres 2 oak trees starting to grow by the fence!!made up!!😁
Did they say where they are obtaining the seeds?
Nope, they don't officially mention it in the video. But it's the UAE and they use Avicennia marina - so it's almost certain those are being import seeds...
@@kontoname Are those the same species that locally grew there?
@@remliqathey will surely be

Will be important to see how well it works for different kinds of seeds. Some mangroves have seeds like spears so not round like these ones

Weird that Saudi doesn't do the same.
Great effort 💯
Fantastic!!

It's amazing, mangrove it generat huge oxygen
❤❤❤❤❤❤
In the world, the largest mangrove forest is located on the India-Bangladesh border.
The sundarbans
That's good i think the desert needs lots of gardening.
So happy to see the efforts being put in . If there is anything I ,would really like to be a part of the restoration process .
All hail to the drone tech ....plus a women scientist working in Saudi ...Great
How about the oil being pumped out
There's nothing like using technology to save us from our technology.
Great but that complete in 2030 or not
Great efict
That drop holy shit 😂 Cone sandwich bandolier cmon. 3D printer and a math prize
many benefit you can get with mangrove,,,
even you can making sirup from mangrove,,,

A lot of Hindus have hate for the Arabs and Muslims in general but I respect the good educated ones like your self.

Was mangrove natural in the UAE or yet another "man made" thing?
They grow naturally all around the persian gulf
👏👏👏🇧🇷
It is not about climate change, this happens always, it is about HUMAN behaviour that is destructive.
Mangrove forests release more methane gas than other forests. How do you plan to fight against that?
watched this eating a sandwich!

This project existed in Spain long before this rich, vile state knew about it
Meanwhile the uae has destroyed its marine wildlife with the absolute waste that is those artificially created islands. Smh
Is this an advert?
Combatting climate change and the UAE 😂
Is this a woman or what?!!😂🎉🧐
UAE severely abuses migrant workers and no one says anything. They plant a couple of trees and they are such wonderful ppl all of a sudden
