Dying Canal in Tamil Nadu Restored and Lined with Mangroves

Once choked with plastic and barely flowing, a 3-km canal in Tamil Nadu, India, was cleared, restored, and lined with mangroves, offering a model for how cities can bring dying waterways back to life. The community-led project features an innovative fishbone structure designed to support healthy tidal flow, which is essential for mangrove growth and restoring local biodiversity.
