‘Community-Based Ecological Mangrove Restoration’ ... Mangrove Action Project works with a variety of local and international entities to help preserve, restore, and educate on our global mangrove forests. Contact MAP. 1 (206) 207-2022 .
The Mangrove Action Project (MAP) has adopted ‘Ecological Mangrove Restoration’ (EMR) as developed by Robin Lewis of Florida. Robin successfully used the method to restore mangroves for over 30 years, and there have been a number of scientific papers written to support the technique which uses natural mangrove as a model or reference site .
Community engagement and empowerment is key to the CBEMR model and recognizes the importance of local participation and knowledge sharing to sustainable mangrove restoration. With better understanding and education, huge eco-tourism potentials surface that become beneficial for the local communities as well as visitors.
We at Mangrove Action Project take a truly grassroots, bottom-up approach to mangrove conservation and restoration issues. Our approach involves and includes the voices of the global South, local communities, and their partner non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

Thanks to the success of the demonstration sites in Thailand and elsewhere, other organizations have begun adopting the CBEMR method as a more secure and successful manner of mangrove restoration in other locations around the globe. One of MAP’s main services is to provide CBEMR training to organizations undertaking their own projects.
Mangrove restoration is the regeneration of mangrove forest ecosystems in areas where they have previously existed. The practice of mangrove restoration is grounded in the discipline of restoration ecology, which aims to “[assist] the recovery of resilience and adaptive capacity of ecosystems that have been degraded, damaged, or destroyed”. Since environmental impactsare an ongoing threat, to successfully restore an ecosystem implies not merely to recreate its former condition, but to strengthen
For years, the NGO Mangrove Action Project (MAP) has been promoting the restoration of mangrove forests in Asia. For this purpose, the organisation has successfully developed and implemented an alternative restoration method called Ecological Mangrove Reforestation (EMR).

Over the past 40 years, Lewis has pioneered a different method of mangrove restoration that works far better. In fact, he’s established mangrove forests in more than 20 countries around the world. The method — which he calls ecological mangrove restoration — is more difficult and less photogenic than planting pretty rows of seedlings.
Mar 12, 2020 The Mangrove Action Project (MAP) recommends a different, more natural, environmentally sound, long-term approach that utilises the mangrove wetlands as a natural barrier to climate change and rising sea levels. Mangrove forests are vital for healthy coastal ecosystems in the tropics and sub-tropics.

The restoration employed canal techniques, instead of simple plantation of seedlings, and a fish bone pattern of canals was utilized.
Mangrove forests are some of the world’s most valuable coastal ecosystems—and they’re being destroyed at an alarming rate. We’ve lost 50% of the world’s mangroves just in the past half century, and if current trends continue, the remaining mangroves could be gone within the next 100 years.

All too frequently, restoration projects move straight into ...
Mangrove forests grow along tropical and subtropical coastlines, providing habitats for many marine species as well as timber and non-timber forest products (NTFPs) for indigenous people. They also act as a natural barrier to protect coastal villages from natural disasters such as storms, floods and tsunamis. However, mangrove forests have been destroyed and degraded by...
