Fig. 3: Priority locations and co-benefits of selected blue carbon targets.

a–d, Priority locations (a) for investing in the submitted NDC target of 12,000 ha mangrove protection with corresponding changes per ha of mangrove protected in coastal risk reduction (b), lobster fishery (c) and tourism benefits (d). e–h, Priority locations (e) for investing in submitted NDC target of 4,000 ha of mangrove restoration with corresponding changes per ha of mangrove restored in coastal risk reduction (f), lobster fishery (g) and tourism benefits (h). Priority is based on the number of times a hexagon is selected out of 1,000 model runs. Results for coastal risk reduction are rescaled from 0 to 1. Note that the results are per unit hectare of mangrove and not per hexagon.
