We know thriving mangroves are key to combating climate change and supporting thriving communities and biodiversity. We also know how challenging the lack of information around effective mangrove restoration efforts and best practices can be. That’s why the Global Mangrove Alliance is very pleased to announce the launch of the Mangrove Restoration Tracker Tool (MRTT) and accompanying User Guide. The tool invites mangrove practitioners to record and track their restoration projects across its lifetime while ensuring best practice towards sustainable long-living mangroves globally.

Built into Global Mangrove Watch platform – the pre-imminent and most widely-recognized mangrove mapping tool – the one-of-a-kind MRTT will 1) significantly benefit mangrove restoration results by identifying and tracking success from past, present, and future mangrove restoration activities and 2) enable learning and information exchange between practitioners.
