Restoring Lamu's Mangroves

Lamu hosts some 60% of Kenya’s mangroves. These forests are biologically diverse, harbouring intertidal flats and seagrass meadows that are rich in fisheries resources. Lamu’s communities rely on mangroves for food, poles for houses, wood fuel, traditional medicine, and more. However, there is pressure on these forests and the need to conserve what remains and restore what’s been lost is urgent. ‪@WetlandsInt‬ together with Mangrove Action Project and ‪@kenyaforestservice4503‬ is working with the local communities and other stakeholders in the restoration of mangroves in Lamu using the Community-Based Ecological Mangrove Restoration approach.

After watching the mangroves dying out in St Lucia, South Africa can only commend you on your work saving mangroves in Kenya.
