description
|
A long-term management plan for the sustainable use of mangrove ecosystems ois urgently needed. Monitoring, research, and evaluation are vital components of a successful conservation strategy for natural, managed, and man-made mangrove forests.
Mangrove Management and Conservation presents the high-lights of a workshop organized by the United Nations University, Tokyo, the International Society for Mangrove Ecosystems, Japan, and the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere programme.
The expert contributors to this volume outline the key areas for future focus in the stewardship of this vital ecosystem, including appropriate legislation, community participation and empowerment, management agreements between, communities, governments and NGOs, and local responsibility for supervision and enforcement of rules and regulations. An Action Plan for the worldwide conservation and use of mangroves concludes the volume.
Marta Vannucci is a retired Professor of the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil and retired Senior Expert in Marine Sciences of UNESCO. She is Honorary Advisor to the International Society for Mangrove Ecosystems, Okinawa, Japan.
