A pipeline built
rung by rung.

Every project area passes the same gates: hydrology, tenure, community consent and carbon eligibility. We never present a candidate area as more advanced than it is.

Keta Lagoon Pilot

Keta Lagoon · Ketu South, Volta Region

Our first project to reach project design stage. We're restoring degraded mangrove inside Ghana's largest coastal Ramsar wetland, with planting done and owned by the communities who live there.

hectares of degraded mangrove under restoration design

Songor Lagoon

Songor Lagoon · Lower Volta Delta

We're adding the carbon-development layer to restoration and hydrology work already under way in the Songor Ramsar site and UNESCO biosphere reserve. Our partners here are the Dutch Water Authorities and Blue Deal Ghana.

ORIGINATION

Benin Coast

Lake Ahémé & coastal Mono

Where MAIS Eco began. In 2023 three agreements signed with the kings of the Dohi, Agbanidjèhoué and A.K.N.N.N communities gave us exclusive management rights for mangrove restoration on their coastal lands.

Long-term platform

Ghana Coastal Platform

Ghana's five coastal Ramsar systems (Keta, Songor, Densu Delta, Sakumo and Muni-Pomadze) cover around 200,000 ha of wetland landscape. Forestry counterparts estimate that upwards of 50,000 ha may ultimately suit mangrove restoration, subject to full feasibility, tenure and community screening.

Areas are indicative and remain subject to GIS confirmation, ecological and hydrological screening, legal documentation, community participation, validation and verification. Ramsar boundaries are shown for landscape context only.
