Education
Through the years, MAP has never lost sight of the imperative to work with and involve the
next generation of decision-makers.
They must have the needed management skills, as well as personal awareness and appreciation for mangroves, so that they may become better stewards of this vital natural resource base for future generations.
MAP has expanded its education program to include aspects both interesting and inspirational for young minds in their attempts to grasp the fuller significance of the mangrove forest community.
