With Gujarat’s coastline experiencing significant erosion and mangrove loss, this project focuses on restoring coastal mudflats to protect land, strengthen community resilience, and support carbon sequestration. This ecological restoration effort contributes to climate mitigation while safeguarding livelihoods. Gujarat, home to the Gulf of Kutch and Gulf of Khambhat, faces significant coastal erosion due to the high tidal amplitude of the funnel-shaped Gulf of Khambhat, which has led to the loss of 703.6 sq.km of coastline and 36.39 sq.km of mangrove cover over 40 years. The restoration project focuses on reviving coastal mudflats to protect the shoreline, safeguard community livelihoods, and enhance carbon sequestration for climate mitigation. Key achievements include the establishment of a mangrove nursery and plantation across 20.23 hectares with 1.07 lakh saplings, sensitization of 1,829 people in 12 villages, and documentation of 130 biodiversity species, including four new species from the Vagra coastline.
