  • Project description
    With the return to a cycle of more favorable rainfall, the project is to accelerate the resettlement of mangroves in areas where it does not happen spontaneously, by planting mangrove species of Rhizophora in dangerous areas. The restoration of an ecosystem producing fishery resources (fish, shellfish) and wood is the main benefit expected. The project was validated by the UNFCCC Board. The DDA made by Carbon Decisions in December 2010 has been audited by Ernst & Young as the DOE in May 2011. The letter approval from the Senegalese authorities (LoA) was obtained in March 2011. This approval is subject to a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding of 10 years between Livelihoods, Océanium and the Senegalese government.
