Tentative Program

This session will explore the multifaceted roles of mangrove ecosystems in providing coastal protection against erosion and storm surges. Emphasis will be placed on the mechanisms through which these ecosystems enhance shoreline stability and resilience.

This track will focus on the processes and rates of carbon sequestration in mangrove ecosystems, highlighting their significance in climate change mitigation. Research on the potential of blue carbon initiatives will also be discussed.

This session aims to investigate the relationship between biodiversity in mangrove and tidal wetland ecosystems and the ecosystem services they provide. Studies on species interactions and their implications for habitat conservation will be featured.

This track will delve into the sediment transport processes and dynamics within mangrove ecosystems and their implications for habitat stability. The influence of anthropogenic activities on sedimentation patterns will also be addressed.

This session will present innovative approaches and methodologies for the ecological restoration of degraded mangrove habitats. Case studies demonstrating successful restoration efforts and their impacts on biodiversity will be highlighted.

This track will examine the adaptive strategies employed by mangrove ecosystems in response to climate change. Discussions will include the resilience of these ecosystems and their role in climate adaptation planning.
