- Visitors to the Ouémo mangrove trail and local science volunteers
- Worth noticing
- The guide says volunteers can learn to identify phenophases in five minutes; adoption history is personalized, while reminders are marked as forthcoming.
Field notes
The project frames its observations around phenology: new leaves, flowering, propagule production, and leaf fall. Its homepage connects those seasonal records to mangrove litter and blue-carbon storage, while noting that continuous local data is currently lacking. Visitors can either adopt a tree for personalized history or submit a quick observation without registering; reminders for adopters are listed as forthcoming.
