Coral Reefs and Mangroves: Modelling and Managment
This site describes an on-going study sponsored by the Australian Institute of Marine Science, the IBM International Foundation and KEEC-KEPCO. The main objective of the project is to improve the management of coral reef and mangrove habitats through intensive research, international collaboration, and the use of powerful visualisation tools.

Coral reef, mangrove, seagrass and CZM web sites
There are an increasing number of sites on the World Wide Web which provide useful information on: research projects, management initiatives, educational materials, publications, and international activities focused on tropical coastal ecosystems. We have selected a number of sites which are particularly useful to those interested in tropical coastal management and the underpinning science. [eng] |

Mangroves
Mangroves are marine, or estuarine swamps. They may be found on coral reefs or protected shores. Although limited to only a few areas within the United States - principally Florida, Hawaii and the Virgin Islands, these areas are of immense importance world-wide - covering between 60 - 70% of all tropical coasts.

Field Guide to the Mangroves of Queensland
The Guide intended for people who wish to identify the plants they encounter in their coastal environment. Twenty-two of the most commonly occurring mangrove forest plants - both true mangroves and mangrove plant associates - are illustrated here. Detailed information about mangrove ecosystems and about plant species not illustrated here can be found in books listed at the end of the Guide. [eng] |

Mangrove Replenishment Initiative
Mangrove replenishment methodology developed by Bob Riley is now being applied in shoreline revegetation programs endorsed by a coalition of environmentally conscious organizations. This new methodology enables successful employment along shorelines with high tidal activity, substantial wave action, and upland run-off. Mangroves offer significant and unique habitat to birds, mammals, crustacea, and fish populations through a complex marine food chain, creation of breeding habitat, and establishment of restrictive areas that offer protection for maturing offspring; contribute to improved water quality by filtering and assimilating pollutants, stabilizing bottom sediments, and protecting shorelines from erosion.

Importance of Mangroves
Throughout the world there is a general realisation about the ecological and economic importance of the forests. Mangroves, being intertidal forests, are no exception. Their value as forests is no less than any tropical forest. Moreover, the importance of the mangroves is not merely in its forest value, but it is due to its strategic location between the land and the sea. Mangroves are the lifeline for any coastal area.
