Community-Managed Marine/Mangrove Areas
Empowering local communities to sustainably manage and protect their marine and mangrove resources through participatory conservation
The Community-Managed Marine/Mangrove Areas (CMMAs) program empowers local communities to sustainably manage and protect their marine and mangrove resources.
Through participatory planning, capacity building, and alternative livelihood development, we support communities in establishing and maintaining protected areas that ensure both ecological conservation and improved livelihoods for coastal residents.
