Mangrove Virtual University

BASIC COURSE

Introduction:

This course is created for the benefit of vulnerable coastal communities. Mangroves play an important part in stabilizing seashores from sea level rise. It also protects lives and properties from cyclones and other extreme weather.

In addition, it mitigates up to 5 times more CO2 climate gases than terrestrial trees. It is an ideal solution for communities to take protective actions. Following this course will empower you to succeed in implementing valuable projects on your initiatives.
