Restauración y gestión del ecosistema de manglares

Este módulo ofrece orientaciones a las personas interesadas en la conservación, restauración y gestión del ecosistema de manglares. Presenta una visión holística, equilibrando las funciones de la amplia variedad de bienes y servicios suministrados por los manglares, desde mariscos y carbón vegetal hasta la retención del sedimento y la atenuación de las mareas de tempestad. Los manglares crecen a lo largo de las costas, pero su influencia se extiende a menudo tanto tierra adentro como mar adentro.
