Rookery Island in Port Orange , south of the Dunlawton Bridge	Launching the boat full of mangroves and supplies	Volusia County and Marine Discovery Center volunteers working together on the island, after nesting season	The island shortly after planting was completed
These mangroves were planted on 3 foot centers	Working hard to finish before the tide comes in	Thanks to all of the volunteers who dedicated their time to the Estuarine Habitat Restoration Program	200 mangroves were planted on Rookery Island in November of 2007
