Wetland restoration: an emerging issue and management in changing climateIARI, NEW DELHI
Wetlands provide significant social, economic and environmental benefits. Wetlands are associated with several activities like water storage, groundwater recharge, storm protection, flood mitigation, shoreline stabilization, erosion control, and retention of carbon, nutrients, sediments and pollutants. Wetlands can also produce services that have a significant economic value such as clean fresh water, fisheries, timber, peat, wildlife resources and tourism opportunities. The loss and degradation of wetlands is driven by several factors, i.e., climatic and non climatic. Presently increased demand for agricultural land to fulfill the food need associated with population growth continues to be a significant cause of wetland loss in some parts of the globe.

Building resilience of what, for whom?: Navigating the challenges of particip...Erin Bohensky
As scientists in the post-normal age, we no longer simply do research, but are expected to act as catalysts for change. We are often required to support the integration of multiple knowledge cultures, and enable stakeholders to learn and act collectively to promote resilience or transformation. Collective responses are necessary to address the roots of complex ‘wicked’ problems and find potential solutions, requiring participatory research and planning processes which can simultaneously bridge stakeholders’ world views, encourage cross-scale partnerships and innovation, and generate social learning and collective action. However, this presents fundamental challenges for scientists. Often we have to facilitate multi-stakeholder processes and act as objective knowledge brokers, but also have to manage and integrate our own disciplinary paradigms and value systems. The power dynamics of different knowledge systems can influence process and outcomes, and in cross-cultural situations, concepts can be lost in translation. Furthermore, we need to learn ourselves by evaluating the impact of such processes on knowledge integration, learning and collective action, but this is difficult to address methodologically, and learning may be constrained by structured thinking and institutionalised barriers.
The Torres Strait Islands on Australia’s northern border are undergoing rapid change from the global to local scale, creating new pressures for the remote island communities. I present an approach and some findings during the past three years from a project funded by the National Environmental Research Program (NERP) called “Building Resilient Communities for Torres Strait Futures”. I reflect on challenges we’ve encountered as scientists facilitating ‘resilience thinking’ in the field, and our learning about how to more effectively design, implement and evaluate knowledge co-production processes.

Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

1. Integrated Coastal Zone Management
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
2. Bangladesh has a difficult coastline with
many rivers and distributaries and complex
ecology which is affected by natural
hazards like cyclones, coastal flooding,
tidal surges, salinity and the like
phenomenon. The coastline is of 734 km
involving coastal and island communities
of about 50 million people, nearly about
one-third of the total population of
Bangladesh.
The coastal areas of Bangladesh has been
classified into two broad categories viz.
interior coast and exterior coast.
THE COASTAL ZONE OF BANGLADESH
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
3. Depending on the geomorphological features, coastal zones of Bangladesh can broadly be divided into the
following three regions:
1. The Eastern Region: Morphologically the eastern coastline of Bangladesh started from the Feni river to Badar
Mokam (southern tip of the mainland) along Chittagong can be classified as a “Pacific Type" coast running
parallel to the young (Tertiary) folded hill ranges.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
4. 2. The Central Region: This region begins from the Tetulia river to the Feni river estuary including
the mouth of the Meghna river up to the confluence of the Padma (Ganges- Brahmaputra) and
the Meghna river near Chandpur.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
5. 3. The Western Region: The western region covers the coastline westward from the Tetulia River to
the international boundary (India) located at the Hariabangha River. The region is mostly
covered with dense mangrove forests with deeply scoured tidal channels of the tidal plain
overlapping abandoned Ganges delta.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
6. Coastal Zone Management
• Coastal zone management involves managing coastal areas to balance environmental, economic,
human health, and human activities.
• Coastal Management integrates the biological, physical, and policy sciences to plan and execute
sustainable solutions for environmental challenges where land meets water.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
7. ICZM is a process for the management of the coast using an integrated approach, regarding all aspectsof the
coastal zone, including geographical and political boundaries, in an attempt to achieve sustainability.
It is a dynamic, multidisciplinary and iterative process to promote sustainable management of coastal zones.
It covers the full cycle of information collection, planning (in its broadest sense), decision making,
management and monitoring of implementation.
Integrated Coastal Zone Management
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
8. Objectivesof ICZM
• Optimize benefits from coastal and marine resources, specifically for local communities
• Identify desired uses
• Minimize conflicts
• Prevent environmental degradations
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
9. General concept for integrated coastal management:
• Resource assessment: comprehensive inventories of coastal natural and human resources (e.g. physical
and biological data, resource uses, cultural heritage, traditional land uses and activities, etc.); includes
long term in depth biocomplexity research studies;
• Impact assessment: assessing the coastal zone vulnerability to various activity impacts; interactions
between uses and resources; a tool to help making decisions and evaluate options for the mitigation and
environmentally sound management (e.g. spatial and use conflict analysis, GIS models); based on the
bestavailable knowledge and acknowledging uncertainties;
• Policy and regulatory framework: A basic tool for training and education, and for local community
participation in decision making process; based on analysis of existing institutional and legal
mechanisms develop comprehensive policy framework to address coastal issues;
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
10. General concept for integrated coastalmanagement:
• Socio-cultural & Economic assessment: understanding of socio-economic incentives at
the local level in suggesting alternative income-generating programs; the simpler the
national rules the better they are understood and followed on the local levels; the capacity
of the community to regulate its own activities and uses; to enforce local rules is an
important determinant of perceived management success;
• Implementation: How to apply science and develop and implement the BMPs.
Comprehensive BMPs are ‘living documents’ open to revision, expansion; provide
consistent national standards and practices for implementation;
• Monitoring and evaluation: Assess cumulative effects of changes and update
management program elements to reflect changing needs and circumstances;
multidisciplinary data as a ‘feedback loop’ evaluation of our activities and their impacts;
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
11. ICZM IN BANGLADESH
• Management of Coastal People
• Management of Coastal Resources
• Management of Coastal Economy
• Management of Coastal Environment
• Sustainable Management of all above issues
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
12. Coastal Management Issues
• Population Growth
• Infrastructure
• Demand/Supply Analysis
• Analysis of Opportunity
• Analysis of Challenges
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
13. Inter-Sectoral Policy Linkages:
For ICZM following policies has been reviewed:
• National Environment Policy (1992).
• National Tourism Policy (1992).
• National Forest Policy (1994).
• National Policy for Safe Water Supply and Sanitation (1998).
• National Fisheries Policy (1998).
• National Agricultural Policy (1999).
• Industrial Policy (1999).
• National Water Policy (1999).
• Draft National Land Use Policy (1999).
• Draft National Wetlands Policy (1998).
All of these policies have clear implications for coastal development, but in most cases do not have
specific sections on coastal areas and often fail to capture the distinctive combinations of
vulnerabilities and opportunities that characterize the coast.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
14. Coastal Planning Tools
• Administrative
• Policy and Legislation
• Coastal Zoning
• Regulation an Enforcement
• Social
• Customary Practice
• Community Based Management
• Capacity building
• Technical
• EIA
• Risk and Hazard Management
• Resource Analysis: Demand/Supply
• Economic Analysis
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
15. • Protection from Storm
• Protection from Shoreline Erosion
• Protection of Coastal Water
(Pollution/Salinity)
• Protection of Biodiversity
Engineering Measures of ICZM
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
16. The ICZM process consists of three main components:
1. A coastal zone policy;
2. A coastal development strategy; and
3. A priority investment programme
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
17. The specific objectives of the Coastal Zone Policy are sharply focused on pro-poor growth with due
considerations to environmental management and equity, as spelt out below:
• Economic growth.
• Meeting basis needs and creating livelihood opportunities for coastal communities.
• Reduction of vulnerabilities and enhancement of coping capacities.
• Equitable distribution of resources and economic benefits across social strata.
• Empowerment of coastal communities.
• Women’s advancement and promotion of gender equality.
• Sustainable management of natural resources.
• Preservation and enhancement of critical ecosystems.
1. COASTAL ZONE POLICY (CZPo), (2005)
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
18. • The CDS is the linking pin between the CZPo and concrete interventions. It prepares for coordinated
priority actions and arrangements for their implementation through selecting strategic priorities and setting
targets.
• The CDS is a targeted process and the targeting is identified with respect to:
1. Regions (islands and chars, exposed coastal zone or districts; high tsunami risk area; South-West
region);
2. Disadvantaged groups (erosion victims, women and children, fisher and small farmers);
3. Issues (shrimp culture, land zoning; groundwater management, climate change); and
4. Opportunities (tourism, renewable energy, marine fisheries)
2. COASTAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (CDS), (2006)
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
19. The priority areas of investment program are:
• Mitigation of natural disasters, safety and protection.
• Environment management – protection and regeneration of the environment.
• Water resources management.
• Rural livelihoods and sustainable economic opportunities for coastal communities.
• Productive economic activities and focused development of tourism and fisheries sector.
• Infrastructure development.
• Social development including health and nutrition, education, and water and sanitation.
3. PRIORITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM (PIP), (2004)
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
20. KEY ACHIEVEMENTS OF COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT
• Holistic definition of coastal zone provides guidelines for protection of water bodies and acquisition of
land for non-productive use.
• Introduction of the concept of zoning as management.
• Coastal Embankment Rehabilitation Project (CERP) was launched after the cyclone of April 1991.
CERP fostered the concept of polder management involving other stakeholders including the local
community. Polders are now a natural feature of the coastal hydro-morphological setting. Now 123
coastal polders have >5000kmof embankments.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
21. KEY ACHIEVEMENTS OF COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT
• The Forest Department started coastal afforestation in 1966. Vast areas in newly accreted chars and islands
were put under mangrove plantation with the help of the local people. Forest belt along the coast, Coastal
Green Belt, has been instrumental in protecting life and property in coastal areas from cyclone and storm
surges.People’s participation in planning is ensured by this type of project.
• Institutionalization of integrated coastal management has been attempted in recent years through a
number of initiatives. The Char Development & Settlement Project (CDSP), on-going since 1994, may be
mentioned in this respect. As many as six GoB agencies are partners of CDSP. Together they have been
able to demonstrate a culture of working together coordinated by a lead Ministry/agency
(MoWR/BWDB). At the field (district) level, the coordination is done through regular PMC meetings.
This provides a good example of inter-agency interaction and cooperation.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
22. KEY ACHIEVEMENTS OF COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT
• The Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) initiated Cyclone Preparedness Program (CPP) in the
early 1970s that eventually developed into a world model of physical and institutional infrastructure for
disaster management in cyclone prone areas. More than 2000multi-purpose cyclone shelters were built
so far to provide security to the people in the vulnerable areas. An extensive network of radio
communication contributes in cyclone preparedness of coastal communities.
• More than 50,000 ha of new lands were reclaimed along the Noakhali coast through Meghna cross
dams. Subsequently, these newly accreted lands were used for new settlements and socio-economic
development of the people.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
23. KEY CHALLENGES COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT
• Unclear definitions of land to be set aside for conservation.
• Piecemeal efforts to address coastal management through policy.
• Implementation of policy and strategy directives remains poor despite adoption of CZP (2005) and
CDS, (2006).
• Widespread poverty, limited livelihood opportunities (especially outside agriculture) and poorly
developed economic linkages, including poor access to national and international markets that are even
more severethan in other parts of rural Bangladesh.
• Poor levels of service provision and very poorly developed institutional structure (with both government
and non-government institutions weakly represented in many coastal communities) that make the
isolation of many coastal areas worse.
• Highly unequal social structures, with small powerful elite dominating the mass of people, allied to
high levels of conflict and poor law and order.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
24. KEY CHALLENGES COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT
• Active processes of land erosion and accretion in the Meghan Estuary combined with geological and
tectonic processes that are causing land to sink.
• Changing patterns of land use, both in the coastal zone (including the growth of shrimp and salt production)
and over the catchment as a whole that are affecting the coast’s morphology and water resources
characteristics.
• Declining viability of many distinctive and threatened coastal ecosystems, including the Sundarbans and
other mangroves, coastal wetlands and marshes, and offshore marine habitats that are important spawning
grounds.
• Widespread pollution and resource degradation, including ‘hotspots’ such as the coast north of Chittagong
as well as areas affected by more widespread processes.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
25. • Poor access to many forms of infrastructure and technologies and many examples of technical
interventions that are poorly adapted to the characteristics of coastal areas.
• Surface and sub-surface Stalinization, including saline intrusion into freshwater aquifers some distance
from the coast.
• Poor resource management, including the unsustainable exploitation of fish resources and poor ground
and surface water management.
• Rapid decline in key common property resources such as marine fisheries, mangroves and freshwater
resources.
• The long-term effects of climate change, with predicted rises in sea levels, possible increases in the
frequency of major storms and changes in rainfall patternsover the whole Ganges-Brahmaputra basins.
