The GRO Foundation is deeply involved in the Mangrove Project, which focuses on the preservation of unique coastal ecosystems known as mangroves. The foundation actively supports the protection of mangroves due to their vital role as natural barriers against coastal erosion and storm surges, as critical breeding grounds for marine species that support local and global fisheries, and their effectiveness as carbon sinks, mitigating climate change. GRO’s commitment to mangrove preservation underscores its dedication to ecological, economic, and environmental well-being, which is essential for the welfare of coastal ecosystems and the global community.
