Protection, Restoration and Sustainable Use of Mangrove Forest (PRSUMF)

About this project

<p>Capitalising on ongoing EU support, such as the Global Climate Change Alliance+ (GCCA+) to protect and restore mangrove management in Suriname, this action will support climate change adaptation and coastal protection by protecting and restoring the mangrove ecosystem in Suriname. Intervention areas are: improvements in integrated coastal zone and water management, governance and land use regulations, stakeholders who contribute to its protection and management, and by developing sustainable mangrove-based value chain (e.g. honey, shellfish, charcoal and eco-tourism). Given the potential for carbon sequestration in mangroves, forest carbon may represent an additional revenue.</p><p>This mangrove action will mainly benefit the coastal zone of Suriname. Institutional and policy support, as well as activities at a national level will take place.</p><p>This action will contribute to the following Specific Objectives of the MIP:</p><p>SO 4: Mangrove forest protected and restored, with the following expected results:</p><p>- Mangrove national strategy integrated in a regional approach for integrated coastal zone management, water management and coastal defence.</p><p>- Capacity enhanced of community organisations on sustainable mangrove forest management.</p><p>- Income generating value chains (e.g honey, shellfish, charcoal and eco-tourism) improved for community producers.</p>
