The Murky Mangrove: Threats and Interventions at the Kenyan Coast

Kenya has lost an estimated 50% of its mangrove forest along its Coastal strip in the last 50 years. The ecosystem is declining, mainly due to overexploitation by locals and urban development pressure.
Mangroves are among the world’s most productive and important ecosystems. They provide a wealth of ecological and socio-economic benefits, such as serving as nursery habitat for fish species, offering protection against coastal surges associated with storms and storing carbon. However, pollution, diversion and damming of rivers have changed growing conditions in estuaries and seaboards, contributing to the rapid degradation of the coastal ecosystems.
What are the possible interventions to this ecosystem in mitigating the impact of climate change? What are the conservation and volunteer group's efforts in Mombasa doing to restore the shrinking Mangrove forests?
