Mangroves provide multiple ecosystem services that are critical to sustaining coastal communities, such as reducing hydrodynamic stresses from currents, waves, and surges, thereby reducing erosion and flooding. In addition, mangroves provide essential services for the livelihoods of coastal communities. The session will revisit the role that mangroves can play in coastal protection in West Africa and the importance of effective management of these ecosystems. Through different presentations, the conditions for the preservation of this mangrove ecosystem will be illustrated and discussed.
