# In Kenya’s Marereni region, mangrove loss has worsened coastal erosion, depleted fish stocks, and undermined livelihoods. A U.S.-based nonprofit organisation, Seatrees, are restoring mangroves through its marine biodiversity credit programme. The project supports over 600 community members, providing income through nurseries and conservation. With scientific monitoring and community engagement, they’ve planted 190-thousand trees, boosting biodiversity and fish catches. Despite challenges like illegal logging and pollution, restoration efforts continue to uplift both ecosystems and livelihoods.
