Action Substitute cayeput trees (Melaleuca quinquenervia) with native species and prohibit planting of the three in the SJBE
Schedule Short-term
Status In Progress
Update Update January 2010:   In May 2009 the SJBEP finished the first mass eradication project of a Melaleuca quinquenervia stand in Puerto Rico.  The area is adjacent to Canal Suarez in the wetlands close to “Ciudad Deportiva Roberto Clemente” in Carolina.  A total of  4 acres of the specie were removed. The project is in its monitoring phase.  The SJBE published educational material and posters of the specie.

Previous update:  The SJBEP is a key component and active partner in a melaleuca quinquenervia task force created by DRNA.  Visits, studies, and educational efforts are carried out on an ongoing basis and in collaboration with local and federal government agencies.
In 2008, the SJBEP will also continue a partnership with the Carolina Municipality to eliminate a Melaleuca stand located at the Suárez Canal near the Ciudad Deportiva Roberto Clemente.
