(Grand Cayman - CITN) -

A project to restore over 17-acres of mangroves that were severely damaged during Hurricane Ivan has received planning approval.

Developer Michael Ryan will soon start the restoration of the mangroves at the North Sound entrance of Dragon Bay. The plan is to clear the existing debris and to replant, restore and preserve and manage seventeen acres of health red mangroves.

A seawall will also be constructed behind the mangrove area to provide a storm protection system for the property.
