AP Ranks Second in Mangrove Plantation Under MISHTI Scheme

Andhra Pradesh has planted mangroves over 1,400 hectares using the Fish Bone technique.

This project, costing ₹13 crore, is being done by the Andhra Pradesh Forest Department and the M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation.

The central and state governments are sharing the cost equally.

The mangroves help protect coastal areas from cyclones, floods, and erosion, and they also help fight climate change by storing carbon.

The project will be maintained for five years to ensure the mangroves grow well.

Andhra Pradesh has ranked second in the country for this effort.

Officials have also released a poster to raise awareness about the importance of mangroves.
