A quote from Coastal 500 member Mayor Hamilton Brito of Curuçá, Pará, Brazil says "Brazil has the largest continuous belt of mangroves in the world — and they sustain our lives, our economy and our culture. We increasingly need partnerships and alternative financing to protect the mangroves and ensure the future of our communities.”A quote from Coastal 500 member Mayor Alfredo Coro II of Del Carmen, Philippines says: "When super typhoon Odette and the pandemic struck our municipality in 2021, our efforts for a decade of rehabilitating and preserving our mangrove ecosystems allowed us to prepare for a four-hour super storm, provided a stable food source, and the inspiration to be resilient.”A quote from Coastal 500 Member Mayor Juan Ramon Manaiza says "Coastal 500 brings local leaders together to learn from and inspire one another. What we’ve learned from leaders in the Philippines triggered a movement for coastal protection in Honduras...This network has demonstrated the impact of collective action in safeguarding our future.”
