Adaptation Actions

1 - 20 of 33

55 - Thoroughly inspect all bullock fencing before a cyclone to cut out any living branches on posts (i.e. purao fences)

56 - Avoid corrosive fencing materials (i.e. barb wire)

57 - Allow glycine to grow over barbed wire fences to provide a physical barrier to salt exposure

137 - Introduce freshwater namarai to stagnant pools

138 - Physically move animals from drying streams to others that are running

139 - Channel water from consistent source for sensitive animals in drying pools

140 - Clean water sources of debris/obstruction to allow flow of water to drying aquatic habitats

141 - Build water storage areas (dams etc) for vulnerable species

142 - Establish protected areas/tabus to control other threats to drought stressed animals and plants

143 - Utilize green houses for enhanced/controlled fruit production

269 - Dig drainage canals in gardens to prevent pooling and flooding in gardens

270 - Practice Mix Cropping of water-sensitive crops with species that utilize lots of water and can help control water logged soils

271 - Alley crop water-sensitive species in-between with water-intensive species

272 - Use plastic polybags to plant vegetables that are off the ground and cannot be flooded

273 - Build mounds in gardens and plant with vulnerable root crops to keep them above flood waters

274 - Plant crops in raised beds to prevent flooding or excess moisture

275 - Select well drained garden sites, including porous soils that do not hold water

276 - Plant along ridges or on gently sloping areas

277 - Avoid planting on flood plains or areas close to streams, creeks and rivers

278 - Plant water tolerant root crops like water taro and soft mud taro
