Description.

Mangroves are a valuable ecological and economic resource, providing important nursery grounds and breeding sites for birds, fish, crustaceans, shellfish, reptiles and mammals. They offer a number of ecosystem services including, but not limited to, protecting against coastal erosion and carbon sequestration; Mangrove forests are highly productive, with carbon production rates equivalent to tropical humid forests.

This methodology provides a means to quantify net GHG emission removals (NERs) from project activities that plant and restore Mangroves.
