Project Notice

PNR 69581
Project Name RESTORATION OF MANGROVE SITES IN THE CARIBBEAN (OECS)
Project Detail This project is dedicated to the restoration and conservation of several mangrove sites in the Caribbean and will be carried out on priority sites selected by the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) in 5 of its geographies, through community-based climate change adaptation measures. CONTEXT Mangroves play a fundamental role in the evolution of tropical ecosystems, both in terms of food supply, coastal protection, and carbon sequestration. However, the extent of mangroves continues to decline globally, primarily due to human activities. In the Eastern Caribbean, mangroves are particularly impacted by hurricanes and floods and, over the past decade, by mass strandings of Sargassum seaweed. By restoring, protecting, and promoting economic activities that respect mangroves, the project will contribute to achieving sustainable development goals. It will also contribute to the development of French expertise and the regional integration of Martinique and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean, as mangrove sites will be restored and the project will promote the sharing of experience and the networking of local expertise with other OECS territories. DESCRIPTION The project is based on three pillars: Community restoration of mangrove sites and the establishment of sustainable management models ; Improving and disseminating knowledge of mangrove ecosystems at the regional level ; Capacity building for site managers in the OECS region. The project is structured into five components which aim to: Better knowledge of the ecological and socio-economic issues linked to mangrove ecosystems to be restored ; Ecological restoration of sites with high ecological value ; Engagement, awareness and development of sustainable economic activities for communities ; Capitalization, knowledge sharing and collaboration at the regional level ; Strengthening the capacities of the OECS and its local partners. The project also includes a cross-cutting gender objective.
