Local stewards are restoring degraded mangrove belts to protect biodiversity and shoreline livelihoods.
Nurseries raise mangrove seedlings that are transplanted into vulnerable stretches identified by community mapping.
Regular monitoring ensures strong root establishment and natural sediment capture to rebuild protective fringes.
The project strengthens fisheries, buffers storms, and contributes to blue carbon outcomes.
“Mangroves are our first defense against storms and our nursery for fish.”
