About

Protecting marine ecosystems

CORDIO East Africa is tackling the decline of marine resources by helping local communities embrace sustainable approaches. Through education and involvement, they aim to address the factors leading to coral reef deterioration and the degradation of marine resources, promoting beneficial results for both coastal communities and the environment in Eastern Africa.

Pillar & Approaches

Protect & Restore Marine Ecosystems

Mangroves, seagrasses, and other marine ecosystems act as carbon sinks, and shield coastal regions from storms, erosion, and help maintain water quality. They provide economic benefits through industries like tourism and fisheries and carry cultural importance as well. Milkywire supports numerous projects aimed at safeguarding and rejuvenating mangroves and other marine ecosystems for future generations. We support organizations that engage in grassroots efforts and work closely with local communities, while also advocating for policy changes at both the local and national levels.
