dc.description.abstractThis paper estimates the storm protection benefits on residential property in the Kendrapada district of Orissa (India) due to the mediation of mangrove forests during a super cyclone (1999). By combining GIS data with census information, the analyses suggest that without mangrove protection the percentage of fully collapsed houses in the study area would have increased by 23%. Mangrove forests provided protection benefits to houses to the extent of INR 975, 800 (USD 23,233) per km width of forests or INR 51,168 (USD 1218) per hectare. Policy makers need to prioritize mangrove conservation and re-planting in planning for tropical storms.en
