Associated Mangrove Aquaculture Farms; Building with Nature to restore eroding tropical muddy coasts

This guideline is part of a series of Technical Guidelines on technical and socio-economic Building with Nature measures that, in combination, help to restore eroding tropical muddy coasts. These guidelines are based on insights and lessons learned during the implementation of a district scale pilot in Central Java as part of the Building with Nature Indonesia program. By sharing our lessons learned in these practical guidelines, we aim to enable replication by government agencies, the water and aquaculture sector and NGOs. Building with Nature measures need to be part of integrated coastal zone management and require a thorough problem understanding and system analysis. Stakeholders interested in replicating our approach bear full respon-sibility for the success and sustainability of the approach.
