This Global Mangrove Alliance (GMA) report building on the inaugural 2021 report to highlight the GMA members and describes the revised goals of our Alliance. We describe important new research findings and policy developments. We also shine a spotlight on mangrove restoration, including research, tools, and stories from the field. The Global Mangrove Alliance has generated a revised goal for 2030, to ensure the long-term security of mangroves and the people who depend on them. It can be summarized in six words: Halt loss, restore half, double protection.

The Nature Conservancy’s Blue Bonds for Conservation model helps governments unlock funding for conservation—and could benefit millions of people in coastal regions. Demonstrated by successful projects in Barbados, Belize and the Seychelles. The Blue Bonds strategy combines conservation finance with TNC’s science and marine planning expertise to help governments unlock funds at a scale that delivers against their conservation goals while also supporting the well-being of their communities and economies. The strategy is aligned with global goals to protect 30% of the world’s ocean, lands and freshwater by 2030.
