Field Representative Vineeta Hoon visited the island and reports that around 70% of the mangrove seedlings planted are growing well and survived the category-five Cyclone Phailin in October 2013. Another 10% are showing stunted growth, and about 20% were washed away during the cyclone.
The 170 toilets installed in 2007 are well-maintained and used by the community members.

A final report was received in December 2007. All 170 toilets have been completed and the village has set up a mart to construct components of the facilities for other villages as an alternative livelihood source. 31,000 mangrove seedlings were planted between December 2006 and July 2007. As of November 2007, 90% of all the plants had survived. Villagers are now selling seedlings to the forest department as a source of income to maintain the nursery and village plantings.

In April 2007, field representative Felix Sugirtharaj visited the project site. 100 of the 170 toilets have been completed, with the remaining 70 scheduled to be completed in late June 2007. Once construction is completed, all 1,000 villagers will have access to clean sanitary facilities. Also in late 2006 the villagers established a mangrove nursery and raised and planted 35,000 mangrove seedlings. An additional 3,000 seedlings will be raised in 2007 to complete the planting of the 1.8 mile mangrove belt. The village is now considering selling any additional seedlings to the forest department as an income source to sustain the project in future years.
