We are interested in researching blue carbon sequestration by coastal ecosystem, particularly mangroves, and modelling of management scenarios. So, we are seeking for partners among eligible countries to collaborate on developing a project focused on the social and environmental aspects of nature-based solutions for biodiversity, human well-being and transformative change of coastal vulnerable environments and societies.
