The 'Mangrove Cell' initiative in 2025 is primarily linked to which Indian state?
Maharashtra
The Mangrove Cell was established by the Government of Maharashtra under the State Forest Department in January 2012 — the only dedicated mangrove conservation unit of its kind in India.
Under the Mangrove Cell, Maharashtra's mangrove cover grew from 186 sq km in 2013 to 320 sq km in 2019. In 2024–2025, the Cell launched new initiatives including the Mangrove Suraksha app (for complaint registration), the mahamangroveafforestation.com portal for tracking compensatory afforestation (launched August 2025 after Bombay High Court direction), and ongoing restoration projects with UNDP and the Green Climate Fund.
Hence, the answer is Maharashtra.
