Mangroves Working Group
Conserving and restoring mangrove forests to enhance the blue carbon market and ultimately strengthen the resilience of coastal ecosystems and communities
Friends of Ocean Action, in collaboration with 1t.org, has created the Mangroves Working Group to raise ambition and deliver action towards the conservation and restoration of mangrove forests. The group will enable companies and investors to contribute to the conservation and restoration of mangrove forests with support from non-profit actors that provide complementary expertise and networks. It will also build the capacity of the demand side of the blue carbon market and connect it to mangrove-related platforms and projects.
The Mangroves Working Group will be accepting new corporate members that want to join the working group to elevate the agenda of mangrove conservation and restoration.
