Mangrove Action Project
Organization description:Founded in 1992, The Mangrove Action Project is dedicated to reversing the degradation of mangrove forest ecosystems worldwide. Its central tenet is to promote the rights of local coastal peoples, including fishers and farmers, in the sustainable management of coastal environs. The Mangrove Action Project (MAP) provides four essential services to grassroots associations and other proponents of mangrove conservation: 1) It coordinates a unique international NGO network and information clearinghouse on mangrove forests 2) It promotes public awareness of mangrove forest issues; 3) It develops technical and financial support for NGO projects, including mangrove restoration and promotion of Community-Based Coastal Resource Management initiatives, and; 4) MAP helps publicize within the developed nations the basic needs and struggles of Third World coastal fishing and farming communities affected by the consumer demands of the wealthy nations. (This we do through our biweekly news bulletins, action alerts, and published articles, as well as planned public forums and presentations.) Become a Member or renew your membership today!
