Descripción

Destruction of the mangrove forest removes the natural barriers to sea level rise and storm surges and causes more frequent disastrous consequences during high tides and storm conditions. Therefore, considering the important role that coastal zones are playing in the Suriname economy, their ecosystems must be prioritized to ensure their sustainability and conservation. It is therefore important to find strategies to promote the continued production of goods and services in these coastal communities but through environmentally sound and climate smart approaches which will benefit the socioeconomic development of the country as whole.
