## The Coastal Crisis is Real.

Coastal erosion and habitat loss are accelerating at an unprecedented rate. Mangroves and seagrasses—nature's most efficient carbon sinks—are being destroyed by unsustainable development and rising temperatures.

When these habitats vanish, we lose more than just scenery. We lose natural storm barriers, nurseries for marine life, and critical cooling systems for our oceans.

"We aren't just planting trees; we are building the infrastructure of survival for our coastal communities."

— Dr. Elena Vance, Lead Ecologist
