Mangroves are highly effective at sequestering carbon due to the dense biomass and rich soil carbon storage capacity of mangrove ecosystems. This makes them valuable for climate change mitigation.

The project has a low permanence risk and adequate buffer pool of 21%. The project uses 30-year land use agreements to ensure sustained restoration, reducing the risk of reversal.

The project used conservative assumptions in its baseline scenario. The project is implemented by WWF, a non-profit organization, with no financial return other than carbon credits. The mangroves were degraded and not being restored prior to the project.

The project has engaged over 11,000 people across 16 villages and provides significant socio-economic benefits. The restoration of mangrove ecosystems supports the recovery of biodiversity, including fish, birds, and other wildlife. Mangroves filter pollutants and improve water quality.
