The Mangrove Rehabilitation and Replanting Project on Namdrik and Jaluit Atoll in the Marshall Islands, financed by the Government of Australia through its International Climate Change Adaptation Initiative is aiming to increase community resilience to climate change, flood and sea level rise and to improve food security.
