\n- Improve overall understanding of the role of mangroves<\/b> in the context of global warming by analyzing greenhouse gas emissions, notably CO2 and methane, captured and originating from mangroves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Encourage artists to come on board<\/b> and tell the story of the expedition in a sensitive way. The drawings and texts are published in the “Sillages” publication. This mission is an important part of Pacifique’s awareness-raising missions.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
