The CoastMan project aims to create a decision support system (DSS) that helps restore and conserve these ecosystems. The project involves dynamic mapping of mangrove habitat loss risks, supporting local resilience, designing sustainable livelihood strategies, and developing the DSS. Ultimately, this effort will enhance the adaptive capacities of vulnerable coastal communities and promote climate action for mangrove restoration and conservation.
