James G. Kairo

I am a marine ecologist with bias towards conservation, rehabilitation and sustainable utilisation of mangrove resources. I have developed expertise in the field of ecological mangroves restoration, carbon financing, integrated coastal area management, climate change mitigation/adaptations, and integrated management of mangrove areas. I am now working with state actors, civil society and community in integrating mangroves and associated blue carbon ecosystems in nationally determined contributions (NDCs).
