Mangrove forests play a very significant role along
the coastal environment throughout the tropical coast.
They provide ecosystem services that are able to
sustain both flora and faunal organisms found in such
ecosystems. They are store large quantities of carbon
in their biomass hence referred to as carbon sinks.
This carbon can be emitted into the atmosphere when
mangrove forests are degraded through unsustainable
utility. The main objective of this study is to quantify
the amount of carbon sequestered by the managed
mangrove forest of the Mida Creek, Kenya....
