Ocean Warming Projected to Stall Expected Mangrove Recovery
Scripps Institution of Oceanography
Published: 2 September 2025
A Scripps study projects rising ocean temperatures will offset mangrove restoration by 2100, causing $28B in annual ecosystem service losses, mostly in Asia. Stronger conservation and emissions cuts are needed.
