Mozambique’s Inhambane Seascape mangrove belts and estuaries have gained a unified governance framework through the National Mangrove Council, a milestone for coordinated conservation and climate adaptation. GBW’s approach integrates community engagement, LEAP and SOMN initiatives, and plastic reduction pilots to deliver measurable environmental, social, and economic outcomes.
Local communities, government agencies, NGOs, and GBW partners are central to this work. Coastal fisher associations and women’s cooperatives are trained in restoration techniques and sustainable livelihoods, while ministries align policies with national climate adaptation objectives. This collaboration bridges policy, science, and practice, ensuring long-term resilience for both ecosystems and communities.
Outcomes include over 1,500 hectares of mangroves under unified governance and 300+ community members trained. In Inhambane Province, LEAP practices improved mangrove cover by 20%, providing storm protection while generating income, illustrating GBW’s commitment to combining environmental stewardship with socio-economic resilience.
