Abstract
Rhizophora mucronata plantations raised in the Mandovi river estuary from Panaji to Ribandar along Panaji-Ponda Highway, though highly successful initially, started dying after sometime. Observations showed that the entire plantation was highly infested with barnacles, which had formed colonies on the stems of all the plants and had damaged the plants, most probably by the cement produced by it to attach itself to the plant. Experiments and study on various aspects related to plantation in barnacle infested areas have been started.
