Developed in collaboration with RECOFTC-Thailand, this brief draws upon insights from community forest registration processes supported by Landesa to present a practical and innovative pathway for moving toward community mangrove forest management plans. It demonstrates how traditional planning processes can be strengthened through the integration of climate risk analysis and future landscape variability using accessible online decision-support tools. In doing so, it turns existing planning frameworks into forward-looking, actionable tools tailored to coastal and mangrove ecosystems, supporting government officials, communities, and local civil society organizations working on sustainable community-based mangrove management.
