Gra Gra Lagoon National Park in southern #Belize. This protected area covers around 1,197 acres of #mangroves as well as a very shallow brackish lagoon in its center. The park, however, is increasingly threatened by development encroachment, resulting in die-off of mangroves.

We must NEVER EVER forget that #mangroves in #Belize City need protection too. The city is very low-lying and mangroves help control flooding.

Through a collaboration with Smithsonian, WWF, Pew, Silvestrum, Belize Government (via the National CC Office, CZMAI, and Forest and Fisheries Departments), UB-ERI and local NGOs, we carried out a national above and below ground blue carbon assessment for Belize. #BzeBlueCarbon

We are working to help socialize the need for protecting #mangroves in #Belize. Sometimes bold signs are needed.

All hands were on deck. Throughly a collaborative undertaking. 🤚🤚👌🏾👍
#collaborations are key for success the #BelizeBlueCarbon project saw 14 institutions come together to design, plan and implement a field season which will be used to build #mangrove carbon stock estimates for #Belize

Great thread on some of the work @pewenvironment @BelizeMangrove @nbood @SImarineGEO @UBBZE & others are doing to support Belize’s blue carbon NDC commitments. 🇧🇿 🌊 🌱
As an internationally-cooperative effort, we conducted the first comprehensive carbon stock estimate for Belizean mangroves, to support Belize's commitment to protect and restore mangroves as part of their NDCs. #BelizeBlueCarbon @SmithsonianSMS @UBBZE @pewenvironment #CWTC21 1/5

A really great undertaking. Data will be very useful in helping to inform policies and actions for sustainable management of #mangrove in Belize. #BelizeBlueCarbon
