The Community-Based Ecological Mangrove Restoration (CBEMR) Training of Trainers Workshop was conducted in collaboration with WWF and the Mangrove Action Project (MAP). The workshop brought together a diverse group of 28 participants, including representatives from coastal community groups, local and international NGOs, government agencies such as the Belize Forest Department, academia, and conservation practitioners.  MAP conducted a multi-phase training session. With flexibility at its core, the training was tailored to address the unique needs of Belizean sites and communities. It emphasized a holistic understanding of the ecological, hydrological, and socioeconomic factors influencing mangrove health.The training covered different restoration approaches suited to the variety of ecological and social contexts found across Belize. Throughout the week, participants engaged in hands-on learning through site visits and field assessments in Hopkins, Placencia Lagoon, Placencia Caye, and Gales Point. These sites presented a wide range of conditions, from healthy, biodiverse mangrove systems to severely degraded areas affected by development, altered hydrology, erosion, landfill, and dredged material dumping.
