MANGROVES

Mangroves are among the world’s greatest carbon sequestering ecosystems, absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it within their rich soils.

MANGROVES AS NATURAL BARRIERS

Mangroves provide natural protective barriers against storm surge, coastal flooding and wave erosion for delicate coastlines and communities.

PROTECT

We protect mangrove forests in the Gulf of California, Bahia Magdalena, and Oaxaca through federal zone concessions, blue carbon credits, monitoring and outreach.
