Ta- SWAM

The Tarout Bay Sustainable Wetlands and Mangrove Conservation Project (Ta-SWAM), led by Saudi Aramco, targets the restoration and conservation of 272 hectares of degraded mangrove habitats in Saudi Arabia's Tarout Bay. Employing the CDM AR-AM0014 methodology, this project aims to enhance carbon sequestration, coastal defenses, and support biodiversity through a variety of restoration techniques, including debris management and resilience reinforcement. Ta-SWAM anticipates a substantial impact on greenhouse gas mitigation, projecting an average annual reduction of 1,003 tonnes of CO2-e, culminating in a total of 30,099 tonnes over the crediting period. This initiative stands as a model for sustainable environmental management and community engagement in mangrove conservation, adhering to stringent international and national validation standards such as ISO 14064-2.
