4 People and infrastructure at risk UNISDR Wetlands international The Global Value of Mangroves for Risk Reduction Mangroves act as natural defenses that protect people and property from storms, reducing coastal risk. Yet these benefits are often not fully accounted for in policy and management decisions, and mangroves continue to be lost. This work rigorously values the coastal protection benefits provided by mangroves socially and economically. By identifying where these natural coastal defenses provide the greatest flood reduction benefits, this work informs policies for adaptation, sustainable Jeff Yonover development, and environmental restoration.
