When our Malizia - Seaexplorer rounds Guadeloupe in races such as the Route du Rhum or finishes the Transat Jacques Vabre in Martinique, our team frequently sails past a coastal ecosystem whose astonishing powers have only recently been better understood: mangroves. Despite serving as nature’s coastal guardians and carbon capture heroes, mangroves are under threat. Team Malizia is actively working to turn the tide and protect this invaluable ecosystem.
