Conservation of intact mangroves and restoration of the degraded ones need coordinated actions from stakeholders. While the understanding biophysical aspects of mangrove blue carbon is quite widespread, very little is known concerning public-private partnerships and financial mechanisms to promote blue carbon markets.
