Mangrove Restoration for Coastal Protection

Coastal community and mangroves are both are vital element of coastal ecosystem. Mangroves protect the coast and coastal environment. Due to the human interference mangroves forests are declining day by day. So this is the time to plant mangroves in the coastal periphery. Who can do this? Local people can do this plantation work.

Bangladesh Environment and Development Society (BEDS) are implementing mangrove restoration activities in the coastal periphery along with the local community. BEDS provide logistic supports and training to the community. The team members always visit the community to mobilize the community. They discuss the opportunities, plant patterns, planting issues etc. with the people. Local people are planting trees, fencing the plants, taking care of them, monitoring the plots. Community is the main asset for planting mangroves. So BEDS team always maintain a good relationship with the community by providing different logistic facilities to them.

Mangroves are the natural protection of the coast. Naturally regenerated mangroves are now nightmare due to the human interference. But saving coastal people now mangroves have to be planted in the periphery of the Sundarbans. Bangladesh Environment and Development Society (BEDS) started this plantation since 2013. Through this continuation of the work BEDS have found 2 hectares of new land on coastal periphery and started fencing and planting trees for making forest. BEDS always work for the coastal community and believe that local community can make their own development. Following this concept the BEDS team always mobilize the coastal community for community based ecological mangrove restoration. The people are working with BEDS for their survival. They are put fence, plant different type’s mangroves in the selected sites. BEDS already covered more than 160 hectares of land in the coastal river bank side. Recently we planted 10000 saplings in the newly founded area. The coastal communities are responsible for taking care of the plants and day to day monitoring. BEDS always provide the logistic support to the community for this social service.
