Managing mangroves and sustainable aquacultureCIFOR-ICRAF
Presented by Virni Budi Arifanti of the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry at the 3rd Asia-Pacific Rainforest Summit, on 23–25 April 2018 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Mangroves are vital for healthy coastal ecosystems in many regions of the world and research and studies are revealing the unique importance of these habitats to the planet. The Mangrove Action Project is dedicated to reversing the degradation and loss of mangrove forest wetlands and their associated coastal ecosystems worldwide. www.mangroveactionproject.org
Marine protected area Marine protected areas (MPA) are protected areas of seas, oceans, estuaries or in the US, the Great Lakes .[2] These marine areas can come in many forms ranging from wildlife refuges to research facilities.[3] MPAs restrict human activity for a conservation purpose, typically to protect natural or cultural resources.[4] Such marine resources are protected by local, state, territorial, native, regional, national, or international authorities and differ substantially among and between nations. This variation includes different limitations on development, fishing practices, fishing seasons and catch limits, moorings and bans on removing or disrupting marine life. In some situations (such as with the Phoenix Islands Protected Area), MPAs also provide revenue for countries, potentially equal to the income that they would have if they were to grant companies permissions to fish.[5]
On 28 October 2016 in Hobart, Australia, the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources agreed to establish the first Antarctic and largest marine protected area in the world encompassing 1.55 million km2 (600,000 sq mi) in the Ross Sea.[6] Other large MPAs are in the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans, in certain exclusive economic zones of Australia and overseas territories of France, the United Kingdom and the United States, with major (990,000 square kilometres (380,000 sq mi) or larger) new or expanded MPAs by these nations since 2012—such as Natural Park of the Coral Sea, Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, Coral Sea Commonwealth Marine Reserve and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands Marine Protected Area. When counted with MPAs of all sizes from many other countries, as of August 2016 there are more than 13,650 MPAs, encompassing 2.07% of the world's oceans, with half of that area – encompassing 1.03% of the world's oceans – receiving complete "no-take" designation.[7]

Sundarban the Largest Mangrove Forest in the World..Md. Al-Amin
Sundarbans, The largest single block of tidal halophytic mangrove forest in the world, located in the southwestern part of Bangladesh. It lies on the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta at the point where it merges with the bay of bengal. The forest lies a little south to the Tropic of Cancer between the latitudes 21°30'N and 22°30'N, and longitudes 89°00'E and 89°55'E. With its array of trees and wildlife the forest is a showpiece of natural history. It is also a centre of economic activities, such as extraction of timber, fishing and collection of honey. The forest consists of about 200 islands, separated by about 400 interconnected tidal rivers, creeks and canals.
In this presentation by Nyoman N. Suryadiputra from the Wetlands International Indonesia Programme given during the Forests Asia summmit in the discussion forum "Managing mangrove forests for climate change mitigation and adaptation benefits" the following questions will be answered:

Community based fisheries management in Cambodia. Tauk Chanraksmey
The community-based fisheries management (CBFM) in Cambodia aims to promote the sustainable fisheries resource management by the empowerment of fisher’s communities to manage their own aquatic resource. This paper describes the challenging of fisheries communities’ implementation: case study in Cambodia and the most important insight in the advocated practical issues that impact on their social livelihood. In addition, this lesson is aimed to gain a better understanding of function in CBFM in Cambodia in general, with particular emphasis the way forward successful of CBFM. The absence of sustainable management and ineffective enforcement of regulation lead to overfishing. The illegal fishing and encroachment of flood plain forest as private possession, other developments still exist including possible accessing of outsider fisher. Mostly CBFM still depends on external support combine with the short budget and no regular incentive resource. The understanding of fishermen and good leadership as well as capacity building initiative which focus on leadership development which is personnel investment and including effort of women involvement. The collaboration between government agencies and community committee are weak including the right of individual participation as co-management actor in community fisheries decision making processes. In addition, CBFM lacks in action plan, and cooperation of competent authority which is essential for the progress of implementation of fisheries management. We need to promote regional, national and sub-nation networking on implement community fisheries (Cfi) activities by their own initiative and self-financial creation. Law on fisheries and sub-degree on Cfi management should amendment for empowerment and promote the right based approached.
Climate change is one of the major concern which affects the coastal ecosystem heavily. This presentation deals with the effect of Climate change on Indian mangroves.

Imagery Interpretation for Coastal and Marine Spatial PlanningKeith VanGraafeiland
2012 ASPRS Conference presentation in Sacramento California.
This paper describes the use of remote sensing data, GIS habitat mapping, and environmental sensitivity analysis methods to map selected coastal and seafloor features. These technologies are employed to develop an efficient means of determining and mapping nearshore and seafloor features warranting environmental protection. The application of remote sensing techniques to high-resolution aerial or satellite imagery may be utilized to identify and delineate near-shore and coastal features and perform habitat classifications. These data can be used to produce Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) maps, thematic maps, and statistical summaries (areal and linear dimensions) of habitat type which may support Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), Environmental Impact Studies (EISs), Baseline Environmental Baseline Surveys (EBSs), monitoring plans, and spill contingency planning. This rapid assessment and mapping approach gives a time-efficient and cost-effective means to identify and map environmentally sensitive features within a large and environmentally complex geographical area. This paper additionally presents the development and application of an environmental impact mitigation plan based on a combination of the ESI analysis and habitat mapping data. This combined technical approach is a practical means to minimize environmental impact while meeting the scientific, engineering and logistic constraints of coastal and marine development activities.

Mapping and Monitoring Spatial-Temporal Cover Change of Prosopis Species Colo...inventionjournals
ABSTRACT: This study integrates Gis and remote sensing to detect, quantify and monitor the rate at which Prosopis species colonization has been taking place since its introduction. Multi-date Landsat 30m resolution imageries covering a period of 25 years were classified into four classes i.e. Prosopis species dominated canopy, mixed woodland, grass land and bush land and finally bare land and agricultural fields. Change detection analysis was performed using 10% threshold to identify and quantify areas where change or No change has occurred. The results indicate that the area under bare land and agricultural fields decreased at a rate of 18.22% per year from 29% in 1985 to 3% in 1990. Between 2005 and 2010 it decreased from 9% in 2005 to 5% in 2010 at a rate of 8.94% per year. Prosopis species colonization has been increasing since 1985 where it was at 0% increasing to 51% in 1990 at a rate of 58.18% per year. Between 2005 and 2010 it decreased from 56% in 2005 to stand at 44% in 2010 at a rate of 4.34% per year. The study found out that there is no threat of desertification in the study area as a result of Prosopis species colonizing the landscape. More studies to be done to identify sustainable method of controlling Prosopis species colonization to avoid more loss of agricultural land and grazing fields.

7. Importance of mangrove
• Mangroves are unique plant communities commonly only found along
sheltered coastlines in the tropics and subtropical.
• The global mangrove area equals to about 15.2 million hectares, with the
largest areas found in Asia and Africa.
• Mangrove aids in shoreline stabilization, reduction of coastal erosion,
sediment and nutrient retention, storm protection, flood and
flow control, conservation of biodiversity.
• The habitat, breeding and nursery grounds for many species of flora and
fauna.
• Equally, mangroves offer socio-economic functions.

9. Application of RS in mangrove mapping
• Traditional and historical methods proved to be costly and time
consuming.
• Visual interpretation was the only method used.
• Difficulty to discriminate the different species.
• New emerging data, software and techniques.
• Satellite imagery up-to-date and available.
• Able to reach remote and inaccessible areas.
• Multispectral and hyperspectral imagery allows for species
discrimination at different levels and fine detailed mapping.
10. Status in the Seychelles
• Mangrove and wetland ecosystem are mapped only:-
- by the boundary extent.
- information include name, location and size.
• Information such as species composition, distribution and phenology
of the species not available.
• This study will provide a vector-based layer with species delineation.
• Bridge the gap with the availability of data and information about
• the mangrove species.
• Develop and provide an inventory of mangrove species.
• Offer detailed mapping capabilities of the mangrove species.
• Provide methodology and guidelines to future studies with the
application of remote sensing techniques
11. Data Acquisition
• Multispectral satellite imagery
- Pleiades imagery consist of:-
Panchromatic: 0.47-0.83 ųm( 0.5m);
Blue = 0.43-0.55 ųm,
Green = 0.50-0.62 ųm,
Red = 0.59-0.71 ųm,
Near Infrared = 0.74-0.94 ųm (NIR)
(2m)
• GPS points of mangrove species
- contains over 1500 sample points
- XY coordinates
- Species type
- Species status
- Growth stage
12. Work Done
• Data collection
- Field data collection using survey form
- Use of hand-held Garmin GPS units to record mangrove species
- Applied a random-sampling techniques based on dominance of
mangrove species over a given area
- Points downloaded & uploaded into ArcGIS
• Field survey
- Groups of four & divided into two to cover enough areas
- Survey forms, GPS units & cameras
- Protective gears – boots and wet suits
13.
14. Analysis
• To analyse and compare species - by area and by zones
• Spatial statistical analyses
- Calculate areas
- Density analysis
- Mapping clusters
-Standard distance
• Accuracy assessment
- the standard way to represent map accuracy
- a confusion matrix contains overall accuracy, user’s accuracy,
producer’s accuracy, and the Kappa coefficient of the
classification results of each mangrove species
15. Way Forward
• Write up
• Data processing and analysis
• Produce final classification map
16. • Logistical issues – staffs and transportation availability
• Bad weather; rainy periods forced the survey to be
postponed/cancelled
• Tidal movements – high tide periods rendered some areas
inaccessible and difficult to reach
• As sampling based on dominance, single strands were omitted
• Top canopy of a particular mangrove species covering a ‘large’ area
but under canopy dominated by another species
Problems & Issues so far….
