This presentation by Richard A. MacKenzie, Randy Kolka, Cynthia Mackie, Mathew Warren, J. Boone Kauffman, Joko Purbospito, Daniel Murdiyarso, Carl Trettin and Erik Lilleskov
given during the Forests Asia summit in the discussion forum "Managing mangrove forests for climate change mitigation and adaptation benefits" focuses on the SWAMP objectives, goals, how to use SWAMP to assess carbon pools and what's going to happen to the mangroves during and after the sea level rise.

Provide management agencies, policy makers, and scientists
from Southeast Asia with credible scientific information
needed to make sound decisions relating to the role of tropical
wetlands in climate change adaptation and mitigation
strategies
Sustainable Wetlands Adaptation and Mitigation
Program (SWAMP) objective:
4. Pacific Southwest Research Station
1. Quantify greenhouse gas emissions arising
from intact wetland forests and sites that have
undergone land cover change
2. Quantify C stocks of tropical forested
wetlands of the world and associated land
uses
3. Develop ecosystem modeling tools and
remote sensing technology to scale up C
measurements
4. Quantify the role of tropical wetland systems
in climate change adaptation and mitigation
5. Develop capacity building and outreach
activities with associated countries that will
lead to sustainability of local communities,
livelihoods and infrastructure
Sustainable Wetlands Adaptation and Mitigation
Program (SWAMP) goals:

“The purpose is provide ideas and
approaches to accurately measure, monitor
and report species composition and
structure, aboveground biomass, and carbon
stocks of mangrove ecosystems.”

Best case
1) Sea-level rise has nearly doubled since 1990 (5.4 cm at 3.2 mm/yr)
2) Sea-level is predicted to increase by 75-190 cm by 2100
Sea-level rise threatens ecosystem services that mangroves provide

Sea-level Rise → Mangroves
Forces mangroves to retreat landwards but success of migration depends on multiple
factors.

Mangrove conservation and restoration cannot be done alone! It requires
many people and partners who are willing to get dirty!

Strategies to promote mangrove resilience: (McLeod and Salm 2006)
1) Apply risk-spreading strategies to address uncertainties of climate change
2) Identify and protect critical areas naturally positioned to survive climate change
3) Manage human stressors on mangroves
4) Establish buffer zones to allow inland migration of mangroves
5) Restore degraded areas that have demonstrated resilience
6) Understand and preserve connectivity
7) Establish baseline data and monitor the responses of mangroves to climate change
8) Implement adaptive strategies to compensate for changes in species ranges
9) Develop alternative livelihoods for mangrove-dependent communities
10)Build partnerships to generate necessary finances and support to respond to climate
change
