Mangrove management handbook

Mangrove is a type of forest growing along tidal
mudflats and along shallow water coastal areas extending
inland along rivers, streams and their tributaries where
the water is generally brackish. The mangrove ecosystem
is dominated by mangrove trees as the primary producer
interacting with associated aquatic fauna, social and
physical factors of the coastal environment.Available onlineCall Number: [EL]ISBN/ISSN: 971-91925-6-9Physical Description: 118 p.

Comprehensive Desk-top Review of Biodiversity, Conservation and Invasive Species Information for the Kingdom of Tonga

Situated between Fiji to the west and Samoa to the northeast, the Kingdom of Tonga (referred
to as Tonga) is comprised of 171 scattered islands of which less than 50 are inhabited. The islands are
mainly composed of limestone formed from uplifted coral. Current critical environmental concerns have
arisen due to deforestation; damage to coral reefs and the introduction and spread of invasive alien
species. Anthropogenic pressure has resulted in extensive modification of all ecosystems on the

Global Distribution of Modelled Mangrove Biomass - United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre

This dataset shows the modelled global patterns of above-ground biomass of mangrove forests. The dataset was developed by the Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge, with support from The Nature Conservancy. The work is based on a review of 95 field studies on carbon storage and fluxes in mangroves world-wide. A climate-based model for potential mangrove above-ground biomass was developed, with almost four times the explanatory power of the only previous published model.

A technical learning exchange between Vanuatu and Fiji aimed at enhancing understanding on native tree propagation, nursery management and mangrove planting techniques concluded on Friday 1 November following a packed four-day schedule in Fiji. The exchange, supported by the Secretariat of t
