Monitoring, research, and evaluation are vital components of a successful conservation strategy for natural, managed, and man-made mangrove forests." "The expert contributors to this volume outline the key areas for future focus in the stewardship of this vital ecosystem, including appropriate legislation, community participation and empowerment, management agreements between communities, governments and NGOs, and local responsibility for supervision and enforcement of rules and regulations. An Action Plan for the worldwide conservation and use of mangroves concludes the volume."--BOOK JACKET
