Resilient Ecosystems, Resilient Communities - Situational Analysis of the Moata'a Community and Mangrove Environment - Analysis report

Mangrove ecosystems are under pressure due to anthropogenic stressors and sea level rise. The resilience of mangroves will depend on the rate of accretion of sediments compared to the rate of sea level rise and their capability to colonise higher elevation areas or buffer zones. This will also be affected by the measures to protect the existing mangroves against anthropogenic pressures. Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 91 p.
