Socioeconomic role of Mangroves

And their conservation frameworks in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and Madagascar

These reports include profiling of mangroves’ socio-economic role and status in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and Madagascar, as well as the impact of conservation on the latter.

After the legal frameworks for mangrove governance, conservation and use in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and Madagascar have been assessed, national in-depth profiles underpinning the ‘national case’ and identifying the ‘key entry points’ for mangrove conservation were developed, addressing the recognised knowledge gap of valuation studies in eastern Africa, covering the full suite of ecosystem services, and providing these estimates at regional and national level.
