Book (stand-alone)Incentive allocation for mangrove protection 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Mangroves provide a wide array of benefits to coastal communities, including wood and non-wood forest products and a wide range of environmental services encompassing coastal hazard protection, erosion control, water filtration and bio-diversity conservation. Mangroves are also valuable in terms of climate change mitigation due to high rates of primary productivity and the large amounts of carbon contained within above- and below-ground biomass and mangrove soils. In spite of their many valu es, mangrove areas continue to diminish in size around Asia and sustainable financing for their protection has not been forthcoming.
This publication guides the establishment of systems for allocating performance-based incentives to coastal communities in exchange for mangrove restoration and protection. It is aimed at potential financiers of mangrove restoration and protection including private entities, development organizations, government agencies and/or other proponents interested i n supporting long-term mangrove restoration and protection initiatives.
This is the fourth in a series of four publications intended to be used in conjunction in establishing sustainable financing for mangrove protection in Asia. The titles and links of the four publications are as follows: -
Book (stand-alone)Mangrove carbon estimator and monitoring guide 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Mangroves exist in the inter-tidal zone of sheltered tropical and subtropical coasts, and in Southeast Asia are home to 42 tree and shrub species found nowhere else (Giesen et al. 2006). These ‘true mangrove species’ and other associate species are adapted to marine and brackish conditions, and are capable of sequestering and storing large amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide. This guide outlines a simple, low-cost methodology for measuring mangrove carbon stocks and monitoring mangroves in def ined project areas. The methodology for measuring mangrove carbon stocks was designed in collaboration with Yale University and was published in PLOS ONE journal in January 2017<.i>. This is the third in a series of four publications intended to be used in conjunction in establishing sustainable financing for mangrove protection in Asia.

Book (stand-alone)Mangrove related policy and institutional frameworks in Pakistan, Thailand and Viet Nam 2016
Also available in:
No results found.This study provides an overview of policy and institutional frameworks for mangrove management in Pakistan, Thailand and Viet Nam. In spite of these values, mangroves in Asia continue to be converted to other land uses, and sustainable financing for their protection has not been forthcoming. This has resulted from limited length of project cycles, a lack of established PES schemes covering mangroves, unclear tenure, and the relatively small size of mangroves areas in relation to the economies of scale necessary to offset costs associated with accessing carbon payments.This is the second in a series of four project publications intended to be used in conjunction in establishing sustainable financing for mangrove protection, and provides a review of mangrove related policy and institutional frameworks in Pakistan, Thailand and Viet Nam.
