• Project description
  The overall objective is to restore mangroves that are subject to clearing and degradation. To help reverse this trend the project will support the authorities to access markets to pay for the multiple benefits which mangroves provide. This will be achieved by implementing 4 complimentary Work Packages: - Work with shrimp importers, traders and farmers to introduce ecologically sound shrimp production in areas of high deforestation and degradation. - Restoring abandoned shrimp ponds. Activities will be introduced in tandem with the BMU supported ENRICH project which is piloting mangrove restoration in Ca Mau. - Accessing carbon finance; - The drafting and introduction of a national policy in Vietnam that provides the legal basis for mangrove PES systems. This will build on the ongoing efforts by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, IUCN and GIZ.
