Among other functions, their enormous carbon storage potential plays a critically important role in stabilizing the global climate and protecting coastlines. In recent decades, however, global mangrove forests have been severely depleted, by 20 percent since 1980 alone. Besides other factors, the unchecked expansion of shrimp aquaculture, particularly in South and Southeast Asian countries, is a major cause of their destruction. Despite these negative impacts, shrimp farming, as a central economic activity in mangrove areas, offers great potential to significantly promote the protection and restoration of mangroves. This applies to aquaculture systems as well as to other areas of agricultural operations and communities.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery el_id=&#8221;gallery-634078&#8243; medias=&#8221;904,902&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; media_items=&#8221;media|lightbox|original,icon,caption&#8221; screen_lg=&#8221;1000&#8243; screen_md=&#8221;600&#8243; screen_sm=&#8221;480&#8243; single_overlay_opacity=&#8221;50&#8243; single_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;729739&#8243;][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;154988&#8243;]In our SAIME project (Sustainable Aquaculture in Mangrove Ecosystems), we are therefore working on establishing pilot aquaculture farms that utilize sustainable IMA (Integrated Mangrove Aquaculture) systems.

The habitats of these salt-tolerant plants are thus disappearing three to five times faster than tropical rainforests or coral reefs. This is particularly concerning given the immense ecological importance of mangroves at the boundary between water and land. The trees and the dense network of their roots, which stand like stilts in the water, provide habitat for a multitude of rare mammals, reptiles, and birds. They serve as a refuge and nursery for countless fish and crustacean species and retain large amounts of sediment. Thus, the mangrove forest protects coastlines from erosion, tropical cyclones, and storm surges. And it is also an effective tool against climate change: healthy mangrove forests store more carbon than any other forest\u2014up to 1,000 tons per hectare. Since 2005, the Global Nature Fund (GNF) has been engaged in mangrove protection in Asia, and since 2018 in the Sundarbans region.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;175721&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;819&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;756701&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-174444&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;4&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;903756&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;175721&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;898&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;187017&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; style=&#8221;dark&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;173266&#8243;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;678828&#8243;]Integrated Mangrove Aquaculture (IMA)[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;105013&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many mangrove forests have been cleared for intensive aquaculture.

Of this, approximately 6,000 km\u00b2 are in Bangladesh and 4,000 km\u00b2 in the Indian state of West Bengal.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mangrove forests are located in a low-lying estuary and flood zone of the Brahmaputra, Ganges, and Meghna, which discharge precipitation from the southern slopes of the Himalayas as well as seasonally large water masses from the monsoon zone into the sea. The species-rich ecosystem is difficult to access and widely branched, as the rivers split into numerous tributaries and estuaries in the Ganges Delta. The endangered Bengal tiger and the endemic Sundari tree are native here.  <\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;918&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;206855&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;123484&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;924&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;380400&#8243;][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;181227&#8243;]Overall, valuable foundations have been established in the first phase of the SAIME project to further expand this approach.

In addition, nurseries have been established that are managed by women. Here, the seedlings are grown that are later planted in the aquaculture facilities. Through the sale of mangrove seedlings to other NGOs or communities outside the project region, additional income is generated. The farmers are now organized in cooperatives and officially registered.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=&#8221;927&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;119312&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221;
