Dear All,

THE GLOBAL DECLINE OF MANGROVES: IS THERE A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE?

Mangroves provide a range of ecosystem services currently valued at US$1.6 billion globally. For many coastal communities, mangrove ecosystems provide livelihoods, essential sources of protein and coastal protection. They are also important carbon stores and directly or indirectly support up to 80% of global fish catches. Despite their importance, around 1% of mangroves are being lost annually as a result of land development, pollution, demand for materials and climate change.
