Coastal restoration in Selangor: why mangrove planting matters for climate and shoreline protection

The article covers efforts to restore fragile coastal areas in Selangor, Malaysia, through planting and habitat rehabilitation. Coastal ecosystems like mangroves provide natural storm protection, support local fisheries, and store carbon in their soils, making them a practical piece of climate adaptation and mitigation. For readers tracking carbon markets or nature-based solutions, the piece is a useful example of how on-the-ground restoration projects are framed and financed. It also raises questions about survival rates, maintenance, and whether these efforts can scale beyond pilot areas.
