Assessing blue carbon in mangrove ecosystems of Seychelles.

Mangrove forests play an important role in climate change mitigation and adaptation, globally recognized as natural climate solution. The protection and restoration of mangrove ecosystems are especially important to Small Island Developing States, like Seychelles, due to their vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, such as sea level rise and tropical cyclones. Therefore, it is crucial for countries like Seychelles to develop baseline information on the status of their mangrove forests to guide conservation and management actions.

This study utilizes the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to prioritize climate change mitigation strategies for coastal regions systematically. The AHP, a robust data-driven decision-making framework, was employed to evaluate five strategies: Mangrove Restoration, Zoning and Building Codes, Seawalls, Coral Reef Protection, and Relocation Programs. The analysis revealed that Mangrove Restoration emerged as the most effective strategy, achieving the highest score of 0.

Ecosystems globally have reached critical tipping points because of climate change, urbanization, unsustainable resource consumption, and pollution. In response, international agreements have set targets for conserving 30% of global ecosystems and restoring 30% of degraded lands and waters by 2030 (30×30). In 2021, the United States set a target to jointly conserve and restore 30% of US lands and waters by 2030, with a specific goal to restore coastal ecosystems, namely wetlands, seagrasses, coral and oyster reefs, and mangrove and kelp forests, to increase resilience to climate change.

Assessment of macrobenthos in evaluating the restoration effects of artificial mangrove planting on tidal flats in Zhejiang, China.

Artificially planted mangroves are widely used for tidal flat restoration, but their effectiveness in restoring these ecosystems remains unclear. Macrobenthos, as key indicators of tidal flat ecosystem health, can reflect changes in environmental conditions and quality resulting from the introduction of artificial mangroves. This study aimed to investigate the ecological restoration effects of artificially planted mangroves in northern China by surveying macrobenthic communities across four regions in June 2023.
