Mangroves are becoming increasingly recognized as important nursery habitats for many juvenile fish and macroinvertebrate species, however little is known about their importance for zooplankton communities. The complex structure of mangrove environments may provide zooplankton populations with shelter, substrate, food, and protection from depredation. These factors could impact zooplankton survival,...

Shrimp farming in Thailand is considered to be one of the main causes of mangrove deforestation. The
Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis, however, posits that economic development eventually
reverses resource degradation. This hypothesis is examined using pooled data on mangrove loss and Gross
Provincial Product (GPP) from 23 provinces in...
Globally, mangrove forests represents only 0.7% of world's tropical forested area but are highly threatened due to susceptibility to climate change, sea level rise, and increasing pressures from human population growth in coastal regions. Our study was carried out in the Bhitarkanika Conservation Area (BCA), the second-largest mangrove area in...
The Jakarta fishing port that is the greatest fishery position in Indonesia was located in important area on the natural ecosystem where the Mangrove wood grows thick from the first. In maintenance of the fishing port, the harmony with these environments was the important subject. For this reason, in improvement...
Since proposing “Sustainable development” defined by World Commission on Environment and Development, many organizations (governments, industries and NGOs) have sought and tried sustainable way of shrimp aquaculture. As the mangrove was destroyed on a large scale, they have tackled to mangrove reforestation around the same time. Destruction of the coast...
Investors in aquaculture are biased against the mangrove areas and prefer to site their farms in the upland parts of Southwest, Nigeria. This study was carried out to compare the yield performance in the two fish farm locations. The tools utilized included descriptive statistics, budgetary and cash flow analyses and...
Coastal wetlands can have exceptionally large carbon (C) stocks and their protection and restoration would constitute an effective mitigation strategy to climate change. Inclusion of coastal ecosystems in mitigation strategies requires quantification of carbon stocks in order to calculate emissions or sequestration through time. In this study, we quantified the...
From over half a million hectares in the turn of 20th century, mangrove areas in the Philippines have diminished to about 117,000 ha in 1993 and even much less in the turn of the 21st century. Much of such
reduction in mangrove areas has been attributed to their conversion to...
Comparative phylogeography offers a unique opportunity to understand the interplay between past environmental events and life-history traits on diversification of unrelated but co-distributed species. Here, we examined the effects of the quaternary climate fluctuations and palaeomarine currents and present-day marine currents on the extant patterns of genetic diversity in the...
