Coastal Natural Capital
How do we counteract coastal erosion, wetland depletion, and environmental degradation to improve economic growth?
In this issue, we focus on coastal natural capital.
How do we counteract coastal erosion, wetland depletion, and environmental degradation to improve economic growth? We look at different regions within Africa to understand how they are addressing the challenges of managing coastal natural capital, as well as the potential solutions to the issue, soft and hard coastal management techniques.
1. CASE STUDY 1: Mangrove Ecosystem Economic Value in Mida Creek, Kenya. Discussing the link between coastal natural capital and sustainable economic growth. Discussing the economic value of mangrove ecosystem provisioning services, regulating and supporting services and recreational services. We also discuss Kenya’s mangrove ecosystem management plan 2017 to 2027.

Public finance can have a critical role in mobilizing more and better private investment in a sector that will be critical for the success of the new sustainable development agenda.
The Blue Economy, Blue Growth and the Blue Revolution have become popular slogans to galvanize the potential of the oceans in contributing to human prosperity and food security. This wave of ‘blue enthusiasm’ aims to attract new investors into the maritime economy and improve governance of the oceans. But it also risks sweeping away those with less capital to invest, including the small scale fishers and farmers that are the largest group of ocean resource users, globally. Supporters of the blue economy idea claim it can help to reduce global economic inequalities by providing new opportunities for poverty reduction, nutrition security and improved wellbeing, while sustaining the productive capacity of ocean and coastal ecosystems. Can it? Will it? How? What will happen to small-scale fisheries and aquaculture?

Facts and Figures #31: A review of 147 Trash Sites between 2014 and 2016 in Phnom Penh
Efficient and effective trash collection has been a major public health concern in Phnom Penh for decades, but is expected to get worse due to continued urban expansion, and a population which is expected to hit the three million mark before 2017. Poorly managed trash collection attracts vermin, and causes disease to spread. It even reduces property value and impacts tourism. CINTRI – a private trash collection service – has had a monopoly in Phnom Penh since being contracted by the Government in 2002, but residents are sceptical that they can make (and keep) the city clean: “public expectations… have grown and developed beyond what the current model is able to provide”. Residents have been dissatisfied by CINTRI’s efforts since the start, but CINTRI claim they are “not to blame for the capital’s trash-strewn streets” and that the government is using them as a cover for their own inefficiencies. Nevertheless, CINTRI’s contract was reviewed and renewed in May 2016. The private firm held a target of achieving a “sustainable trash collection system” by 2015, but as this report displays, it is apparent this target was not met.

KNOWLEDGE ON THE 2017 COMMUNE ELECTION
Phnom Penh’s urban poor are a marginalized group which has yet to be examined in terms of level of knowledge on voter registration. As such, this research seeks to fill this knowledge gap. It examines whether urban poor residents currently possess a Khmer Citizen Identity Card (IC) or intend to obtain one prior to the voter registration period. It also considers whether those who do not have an IC have the necessary documentation to be able to obtain one, and reasons why such residents may lack such documentation. This study also examines understanding of the pre-requisites for registration and the registration process. Awareness of the upcoming communal elections is also assessed.
237 respondents were interviewed from three urban poor communities in Phnom Penh, which were Village 23, Rolous Cheung Ek and Smor San. These communities were selected because they are typical of urban poor settlements in Phnom Penh, where community members are at risk of experiencing difficulties in registering to vote, and are subject to multiple vulnerabilities, including lack of access to municipal services and the threat of eviction. From these communities, one can draw generalizations about other urban poor communities in Phnom Penh.
The survey found that the majority (92%) of the respondents across the communities did possess an IC. For the minority without ICs (8%), 52% of the respondents claimed they would acquire one in time to register to vote. Furthermore, 77% confirmed they voted in 2012 commune election; 62% said they were aware of the upcoming 2017 commune election, and 97% said they would register for the upcoming 2017 commune election. However, none of the respondents were able to provide a complete answer to the requirements for voter registration. Most respondents could only name two requirements, being 18 years or older, or a being a Cambodian citizen. Ownership of electronic devices was also found to be high across the communities (85% own a TV and 48% own a smartphone), however when it comes to accessing information on the commune election, the village chief or village team leader is relied upon as the key source for the majority of community residents. For the respondents who did not possess ICs or another legal document, 45% said the key reason was due to being asked to ‘pay extra’. As reported by the respondents that were interviewed, extra payments are normally required to help complete application forms, or to overcome inefficiency.

Facts and figures #28 phnom penh’s lakes where are they nowSokhret Sorn
Cambodia’s government has sanctioned the sale of Phnom Penh’s lakes and, as evidenced by the high profile case of Boeung Kak Lake, this has been linked with lake filling and loss of Phnom Penh’s water systems. This practice is understood – through news reports and anecdotal evidence from former residents of affected lakes – to be widespread, raising concerns about the impact on Phnom Penh’s natural drainage systems and flood risk. However until now there has been no comprehensive analysis of how urban development has impacted on Phnom Penh’s Lakes.
In 2015 STT’s Research Team undertook a study of the current status of 25 lakes in Phnom Penh. This study found that 15 have been filled in, representing a loss of 60% of Phnom Penh’s lake systems. A further eight lakes have been partially filled in, and another has become shallower as a result of waste water and garbage emptied into this area. Overall, this demonstrates that Phnom Penh’s urban development is having a significant impact on the water systems in this region.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

An ocean of opportunity
1. An ocean of opportunity
Marine protected areas could help to reduce poverty, increase food security,
create employment and protect coastal communities.
2. An ocean of opportunity
Ocean ecosystems are renewable assets which, if maintained in a
healthy state, would continue to provide goods and services in
perpetuity.
Substantial economic and social gains could be realized by protecting
and improving them, and from using them sustainably and equitably to:
Enhance food security, health and well-being.
Deliver more secure and cost-effective public services.
Build more resilient economies and businesses.
Generate economic growth where it is needed.
3. Enhance food security, health
and well-being
making equitable access to food and raw materials from a healthy ocean
would improve quality of life for hundreds of millions of people, as well
as generating substantial savings from averted healthcare and social
costs.
4. Deliver more secure and cost-
effective public services.
Ocean ecosystems are a core part of a nation’s infrastructure portfolio,
and should be invested in accordingly. Protecting and improving them to
secure service supply would generate multibillion-dollar savings
through reduced need for man-made alternatives and avoided socio-
economic costs.
5. Build more resilient economies
and businesses.
Improved access to a sustainable supply of raw materials would insulate
economies, businesses and supply chains from resource shocks, price
volatility and disaster risks.
6. Generate economic growth
where it is needed
Through new businesses and job creation in coastal areas (for example
in fisheries and tourism) – areas that often suffer from a lack of
economic opportunities.
7. Conclusion
Marine protected areas (MPAs) that effectively protect critical habitats,
species and ecological functions are an essential tool for ensuring ocean
ecosystems can deliver services and benefits to current and future
generations.
Brander et al. (2015) show that well-managed MPAs could help to
reduce poverty, increase food security, create employment and protect
coastal communities. They modelled a range of scenarios to examine
the net benefits of expanding MPAs.
Increasing MPA coverage to 30 per cent of marine and coastal areas
could generate between US$490 billion and US$920 billion by 2050 and
150,000-180,000 full-time jobs in MPA management over the 2015-
2050 period.
8. Thanks for attention
Marine protected areas could help to reduce poverty, increase food security, create
employment and protect coastal communities.
Protecting our ocean makes economic sense
