Removed the Hottentot-fig: the Sea Fennel start to recover

Removed the Hottentot-fig: the Sea Fennel start to recover

15 October 2017

During an inspection carried out at the end of September 2017, the botanists of Life PonDerat found some good results of the eradication of the Hottentot-fig Carpobrotus sp. carried out in recent months on most of the island. The researchers found that the areas where they acted were not re-colonized by this invasive alien plant. As can be seen from the images, the Sea fennel Chritmum maritimum already seems to benefit from this.
