About the Grenada Mangrove Hub
This digital platform was created to support community-led mangrove restoration efforts across Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique by making scientific research accessible and actionable.
Project Background
The Grenada Mangrove Hub is part of the project "Developing a standardized approach for Mangrove conservation and restoration in Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique," funded by the Global Environment Facility Small Grants Programme (GEF-SGP) Grenada.
This resource was developed from extensive field research conducted at multiple sites across the three islands, combined with previous work supported by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). The hub translates complex scientific data into practical guidance that communities, landowners, NGOs, and community-based organizations can use to make informed restoration decisions
