Restoring our precious blue carbon ecosystems. 12,000 mangroves planted in 2024!

Mangroves are a carbon-storing superpower, sinking 5x more carbon per acre than forests on land. Mangroves are also critical defenses against storms, swells, and sea level rise. It is estimated that three quarters of Puerto Rico's mangroves have been lost due to deforestation, illegal construction projects, and hurricanes. 

Through Surfrider's Climate Action Program and in partnership with local organizations, students, and local communities, Surfrider has planted more than 22,000 mangroves in Puerto Rico since 2023. 

With your support, Surfrider Puerto Rico can continue this effort!
