Evaluating Mangrove Restoration Impact on Coastal Resilience in Japan
Implementing Partner: Build Change
Project name: Development of an Evaluation Framework for the Impact of Scientifically Based Mangrove Forest Restoration using Habitat Suitability Models on Coastal Resilience
This study highlights the protective role of mangrove forests in shielding coastal zones from floods and storms. By leveraging advanced tools and data analytics, it identifies optimal restoration sites and species.
A specialized model evaluates coastal resilience to disasters. Mangrove restoration boosts community safety, enhances carbon sequestration, and supports livelihoods through tourism and local employment.
The project promotes stronger, sustainable coastal communities using scientifically grounded, nature-based solutions tailored to evolving environmental challenges.

Impact and Key Findings
1
This project uses advanced science to pinpoint the most effective sites for mangrove restoration, maximizing coastal protection and ecosystem benefits. By concentrating resources where impact is highest, it ensures cost-efficiency and strengthens community resilience.
2
It strengthens coastal resilience by implementing evidence-based restoration strategies that reduce flood and storm surge risks, delivering direct benefits to at-risk communities while shaping long-term, climate-adaptive infrastructure and environmental planning for sustainable coastal development.
3
The tool empowers local authorities and planners with data-driven insights to strengthen disaster risk reduction strategies, enabling smarter, evidence-based decisions and coordinated resilience planning across coastal regions in CDRI member countries.
