Judges'' comments
Thank you for submitting a final proposal. The judges appreciate how your proposed work appears to be more realistic than before, in terms of timelines and such. The actions look do-able and this could be a promising idea for addressing coastal erosion and adaptation needs, but you can still keep solidifying your proposal with more concrete details. As you move forward with this, you are strongly encouraged to continue using the judges’ feedback to help guide your work. There is always room for improvement, and the judges would like to see you respond further to the questions and comments that were raised during semi-finalist selection. For ease of reference, the judges’ initial suggestions have been summarized by a contest fellow below:
Suggested improvements summary:
- More detail on operational and practical elements of the proposal
o How will it run at real and practical level?
o Who would oversee and care for the nurseries?
o Where would funding come from?
o How would local community be involved?
o What incentives for participation?
- Highlight links to development and livelihoods to make case for “development as adaptation” / “adaptation as development”
Congratulations on a strong proposal, and the adaptation contest team wishes you the best of luck!

Thank you for your submission to the Climate CoLab adaptation contest. The judges like the underlying idea of this proposal and how it is proactive, local, doable and scalable. Community-based mangrove nurseries and plantation programs could be an excellent way to fortify vulnerable coastlines, but importantly, the operational and practical elements of this proposal need much more detail. How will this program run at a real and practical level? Who would oversee and care for the nurseries? Where would the funding come from? How exactly would the local community be involved, and what incentives would they have to participate? What approach would be used in engaging the community, and different levels of government? The localness and the links to development (even livelihoods) can and should be highlighted to make this a case of "development as adaptation" as well as "adaptation as development." The scale of this proposal may be relatively small, but the workability could be high - and if this is successful, it may be replicable by proponents or others across the world, potentially in a number of developing countries. The judges would like to see a detailed plan of action for the next round. Congratulations on advancing to as a semi-finalist, and the adapation contest team looks forward to seeing your revised proposal for the final submission.
