Why Blue Carbon Matters Here

Kenya’s coast contains high value mangroves and seagrasses that store large amounts of carbon, protect shorelines and support livelihoods. Strengthening assessment, monitoring and governance helps turn these ecosystems into durable climate and community assets. Community projects such as Mikoko Pamoja and Vanga Blue Forest demonstrate verified climate and income benefits.
