Overview of the project

The project aims to preserve the coastline threatened by marine submersion. It involves :

• training and raising the awareness of local communities about the importance of preserving mangroves
• locating the sites to be developed/restored by identifying natural resources and mapping them
• developing/restoring mangrove areas and converting them into protected areas by organising participatory reforestation
• training local residents in the design and use of ecological ovens as an alternative energy source to mangrove firewood
• mobilising stakeholders and making them more responsible, which will necessarily involve the participation of several organisations specialising in environmental protection
• monitoring of the mangrove wood cutting and marketing chain, which requires systematic control of the products that come from this area towards the end user.
• drawing up rules on the main activities of companies in sensitive mangrove areas.
• the development and implementation of participatory plans for the exploitation and restoration of mangrove resources aimed at sustainable use within the communes with all the stakeholders concerned
• la mise en place des plateformes de communication permettant d’éviter des conflits de compétences entre les différentes administrations intervenants dans le domaine/secteur
• le renforcement des capacités d’intervention des services publics et d’autres organismes nécessiteux impliqués dans la gestion de la mangrove
• setting up communication platforms to avoid conflicts of competence between the various administrations involved in the field/sector
• strengthening the intervention capacities of public services and other needy bodies involved in mangrove management
