"If there are no mangroves, then the sea will have no meaning.  It is like having a tree without roots, for the mangroves are the roots of the sea..."

Mangrove Action Project (MAP)

home page landing

The Mangrove Action Project is dedicated to reversing the degradation and loss of mangrove forest ecosystems worldwide. Its main goal is to promote the rights of traditional and indigenous coastal peoples, including fishers and farmers, to sustainably manage their coastal environs. At the same time MAP strives to use the formal education process to introduce mangrove ecology on a scientific and social level to students in their classrooms

 Since 1992, Mangrove Action Project (MAP) has been partnering with mangrove forest communities, grassroots, NGOs, researchers, and local governments to conserve & restore mangrove forests and related coastal ecosystems. MAP also promotes community based, sustainable management of coastal resources & has also launched a consumer awareness campaign in the U.S. called Question Your Shrimp. The Question Your Shrimp campaign is currently working to gather support from restaurants, chefs, retailers, & consumers who are pledging not to serve or buy unhealthy imported shrimp. By raising awareness & changing consumer demand in the U.S. (currently, the #1 consumer of imported shrimp), the campaign strives to reduce mangrove deforestation & oppression of coastal communities overseas.
