  • Project description
    The goal of the project is to develop sustainable livelihoods and build community and government management capacity for natural resource dependent coastal and rural communities. The project will develop a model for sustainable, integrated, and collaborative coastal resource management, to address pressing issues such as food security, poverty and habitat degradation. The project will provide a template for wider uptake and replication in other localities. A key component of the project is measuring carbon sequestration from rehabilitated mangrove habitats and developing supplementary income streams through blue carbon credit financing.
