International Workshop Asia- Pacific Cooperation
Research for Conservation of Mangroves
26 -30 March, 2000; Okinawa, Japan

Mangroves are a critical element of the coastal hydrosphere and stand out as an ecosystem with high economic potential, often subjected to severe exploitation. This component seeks to share experiences in preservation and sustainable management of mangroves and to promote scientific cooperation in this field in the Asia-Pacific region.

A joint workshop was organized by UNU, UNESCO and International Society for Mangroves Ecosystems (ISME), focused on issues related conservation and sustainable use of mangroves (March 2000). It is intended to lead into an action plan for conservation of mangrove ecosystems.
