Mangrove and coastal resilience: community co-produced adaptation
Our proposal to serve as geospatial and technical-assessment partner to CAPws on an ecosystem-based adaptation project for mangroves and coastal communities in the Niger Delta and Gulf of Guinea.
The project would build community-generated and scientific evidence on ecosystem vulnerability and climate risk at three coastal sites. That evidence then underpins capacity building, state adaptation frameworks and a pipeline of investment concepts.
We proposed to pair open satellite data with community knowledge, so that every map can be checked on the ground and every community observation has a location.
What we proposed
- Mangrove and wetland extent, condition and change since 2000 from Landsat and Sentinel-2 imagery
- Shoreline change, flood and erosion exposure layers
- Field verification and participatory mapping with trained community enumerators
- Climate-risk hotspot and adaptation priority-site maps
- A project geodatabase, web map and dashboard
