Why are mangroves important to Thailand? The Thai government values their mangrove forests as they provide protection and help with blue carbon, but the focus is now on restoration.
In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lewin dives deep into the complexities of mangrove restoration in Thailand. Discover the multifaceted benefits of restoring coastlines, including carbon sequestration, biodiversity enhancement, and shoreline protection.
Andrew discusses the challenges faced in mangrove restoration projects, such as improper planting locations, the risks of monoculture, and the implications of private-public partnerships. He emphasizes the importance of strategic planning and long-term commitment to ensure the success of these vital ecosystems.
