*The program covers part of other state sponsorship mangrove restoration projects. Funding from this program is distributed at the provincial level to implement restoration activities (MARD 2014)
**The program only provides general information on the total expected mangrove restoration by length of coastal region, not by area for restoration
***Mangrove restoration is only one purpose of this program. We cannot separate mangrove areas because there are no data available
****Not including the restored mangrove area of the National Programme to Restore and Develop Coastal Mangrove Forest, and the Target Program to Respond to Climate Change and Green Growth for the period 2016–2020
