The lagoon?s restoration program includes two components: reforestation of the lagoon?s banks with native tree species and extraction of invasive exotic aquatic plants of the Mezá lagoon.

Agroforestry systems will allow income generation in short, medium and long term and will use native vegetables and tree species.
