This February 2nd, we celebrate World Wetlands Day (WWD)—a call to recognize the irreplaceable role of wetlands in sustaining biodiversity, mitigating climate change, and supporting livelihoods.
At CoastMan, we are committed to safeguarding mangrove ecosystems—nature’s frontline defense against coastal erosion, storm surges, and carbon emissions. From Ghana to Tanzania, our research highlights the immense blue carbon potential of mangroves in mitigating climate change and supporting local communities.

🌱 Mangroves store up to 10x more carbon per hectare than terrestrial forests!
🌊 They act as a natural buffer, protecting coastal communities from extreme weather events.
👥 Their conservation ensures sustainable fisheries and livelihoods for millions.
💡 Join us in taking action! Whether through policy advocacy, restoration efforts, or simply spreading awareness, every effort counts in preserving these invaluable ecosystems.
