The initiative relies on the support of local specialists involved in the projects, and national and international mangrove experts.
This group of scientific experts will bring an external, cross-disciplinary perspective to underpin, rather than replace, the scientific teams and committees planned for the projects. Their role is to produce the initiative’s content, assist with scientific and technical monitoring, promote innovation, encourage cross-leveraging between projects and the sharing of experience and proven methods, and help disseminate this leveraged knowledge as widely as possible at the international level.
