Moreover, to set up efficient programmes of mangrove restoration and conservation knowledge is needed on their ecological characteristics and dynamics, actual conditions and sources of impacts to which they have been subdued. Restoration of degraded mangrove areas is of current interest, particularly with regard to the overall goals of habitat restoration, ecosystem service preservation and climate change mitigation. The project strives to restore the ecosystem services that are provided by the mangrove ecosystem and to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases through carbon dioxide capture.
