Context

Deepwater ports are developing rapidly in emerging countries and transport companies, mainly multinational groups, are directly or indirectly involved in the development of these ports.

Objective

To develop a compensation system, open to all concerned stakeholders, allowing to compensate the impact on biodiversity and environment related to port developments, more particularly mangroves which are widely present in the emerging countries where port developments are underway.

Why Mangroves ?

First because mangroves play a crucial role to fight climate change, being a huge carbon sink, protecting coasts and preserving people and facilitating livelihood. Second, mangroves are destroyed rapidly around the globe due to human developments, more particularly deepwater ports.
