This document discusses valuation studies conducted on mangrove ecosystems in Mida Creek and Tana Delta, Kenya. The studies found that mangroves provide both direct use values from provisioning services like fisheries and indirect use values from regulatory services like shoreline protection. Total economic value was estimated at $2,050/ha/year for Mida Creek and $1,484/ha/year for Tana Delta. However, costs and benefits of mangrove conservation are often distributed unevenly. Recommendations include investments in green infrastructure, awareness raising, sustainable livelihood incentives, and integrated management approaches to mangrove conservation.
