Great Blue Wall

The Great Blue Wall refers to a proposed project to restore 100 million hectares of the world's coastline, mangroves, and seagrasses to combat climate change, protect biodiversity, and support local communities. These underwater and shoreline ecosystems act as natural barriers against storm surges, reduce coastal erosion, and store large amounts of carbon. By rehabilitating and conserving these habitats, the Great Blue Wall aims to enhance resilience to climate impacts and promote sustainable development. It’s a global effort recognizing the vital role healthy coastal ecosystems play in environmental stability and human well-being.
