Lead institution:
SeaTrees – United States of America (USA)
SeaTrees’ mission is to regenerate the health of our ocean planet. We believe the ocean is the superhero of our story by increasing biodiversity, supporting local communities, and reversing climate change. To enable these superpowers, the SeaTrees Decade Action plants, protects, and restores blue carbon coastal ecosystems, including kelp and mangrove forests, seagrass meadows, coral reefs, and coastal watersheds.
These are the most impactful ecosystems on the planet for carbon sequestration, they are biodiversity hotspots and support sustainable development. What sets the SeaTrees Decade Action apart is the program’s emphasis on community-led restoration projects targeting the most impactful coastal ecosystems globally for carbon sequestration and biodiversity restoration. By engaging local communities, our approach not only fosters biodiversity benefits but also contributes to the sustainable development of these local communities.
