The project began in November 2014 aiming to restore mangroves in a 100 ha area around Jaigad creek, where waterbody had dried up in mudflats owing to the impact of Kasari-Satkondi Kharland bund.
Restoration efforts combine scientific assessment with on-ground planting and community stewardship to rebuild coastal buffers and nursery habitats for fish and birds.
