MAP also held a virtual training series with WWF for projects in Mexico, Colombia, Madagascar, and Fiji. This "climate-smart mangroves learning journey" focused on climate-resilient restoration techniques and fostered progress across diverse global projects. MAP conducted follow-up visits in El Salvador and Mozambique. In El Salvador's Bay of Jiquilisco, MAP revisited restoration sites from 2011, where local communities and NGOs have restored hundreds of hectares without planting, relying on natural regeneration through over 10 km of dug channels. In Mozambique, MAP advisors supported restoration sites, offering technical guidance on mangrove management. Site consultations in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Bangladesh's Sundarbans strengthened local restoration efforts, with MAP supporting NGOs and communities to address environmental pressures through targeted assessments and collaboration. MAP's newsletter for restoration practitioners reaches over 2,000 subscribers. Each issue curates critical updates, research, and global events in mangrove conservation, reinforcing MAP's role as a trusted resource and leader in the field. MAP's global email group of restorationists has grown to 600+ members. This active community of practitioners shares knowledge, experiences, and resources to improve mangrove restoration success worldwide, fostering a collaborative network committed to mangrove preservation and sustainability. -Raising Awareness: MAP's outreach program raises awareness of the importance of mangrove forests to a global audience. The Mangrove Photography Awards are endorsed as a UN Decade programme, garnering global attention with coverage from BBC News, The Times (London), the Guardian, Geographical and more, and were featured in UNESCO exhibitions in Thailand, Paris, and India. Video productions promoted on our YouTube channel garner thousands of views, including the award-winning production, "Return of the Mangroves." -The Youth Education program co-published the Coastal Education Guide, a schools curriculum designed for use in the Cayman Islands and adaptable for other nations with mangrove seagrass and coral ecosystems. 20 class lessons and 17 field trips engaged more than 800 students. The 22nd annual Children's Art Contest received entries from 245 young artists from 35 countries, raising awareness and inspiring more than 9,000 thought-provoking submissions since its inception. 0 0 0 510336 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X NWAFM PLLC 2067898484 PO Box 77033 Seattle WA 981770033 Roger de Freitas Board Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Sherry Manning Board Vice President 4 0 X X 0 0 0 D Graham Andrews Board Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Roan Blacker Board Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 John Cowan Board Member 1 0 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 546767 0 546767 206503 206503 0 0 206503 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 753284 206517 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 12012 12012 0 0 84525 50975 14750 18800 0 0 0 0 70115 34238 24091 11786 0 0 0 0 5934 5934 0 0 6174 3181 1945 1048 60863 7708 43905 9250 3116 2281 835 0 21369 15591 5778 0 0 0 0 0 12000 12000 0 0 0 0 266751 236454 26092 4205 3352 2933 419 0 24486 19466 2225 2795 8484 1847 2592 4045 0 0 0 0 849 616 233 0 107435 107266 169 0 0 0 0 0 1738 1738 0 0 1746 0 1746 0 811 0 811 0 0 0 0 0 5661 4246 1415 0 Taxes & Licenses 234 0 234 0 Bank and processing fees 5357 3850 1332 175 0 0 0 0 703012 510336 128572 64104 304828 194596 105616 205615 51004 37095 410444 488310 17279 41715 60000 60000 4118 2780 81397 104495 X 11575 219290 317472 164525 329047 383815 410444 488310 50272 0 0 0 4496 0 X 0 0 0 X 138277 138280 309087 676710 753270 2015624 138277 138280 309087 676710 753270 2015624 100195 1915429 3 31 28 15 15 92 2015716 0.95025 0.93863 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 Loan Accrued Interest 2780 2780 1 North America (including Canada and Mexico, but not the United States) 0 1 Program Services Education 58600 Europe (including Iceland and Greenland) 0 3 Program Services Education 103434 Central America and the Caribbean 0 2 Program Services Education 57915 East Asia and the Pacific 0 1 Program Services Education, Executive leadership, Fundraising 84525 0 7 304474 Central America and the Caribbean Funds in support of Mangrove Restoration 10000 Wire Transfer 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 We work closely with all grantees to ensure that expenses are allocated accordingly, and programs delivered.
