But apart from the natural and human threats, Mangroves require relatively intact hydrographic and salinity regimes. We also study the role of mangrove ecosystem health (as disturbed, restored and intact) in the vulnerability, adaptability (through sequestration of atmospheric CO2), and resiliency of mangroves against sea level rise. … Without these conditions, the propagation or conservation of mangroves is difficult or next to impossible to achieve. Studies also showed that the Philippines has about 50 percent of the total mangrove species in the world. Hanneke Van Lavieren of United Nations University said, “There is now a growing awareness of the importance of mangroves, and government and community-led efforts are under way to restore or replant mangroves, and to improve legal systems to regulate future use.”. Mangroves are susceptible to pollution, particularly oil and petroleum-based compounds; and a change in salinity levels can have a dramatic impact on the mangrove forest. 1986; DENR Direct economic values estimated in the Philippines for mangrove wood and fish products combined range from USD1,396 per hectare per year (Padilla et al 1996; Schatz 1991 & Trinidad 1994). The threats include: IUCN: Mangrove forests in worldwide decline. In fact, study shows that a kilometer-wide of mangrove area can reduce the tsunamis by 70% when it comes to strength.” DENR defines mangroves as a part of the coastal and marine ecosystem that includes seagrass and the coral reefs. We collaborate with various stakeholders – local and international - to document and enhance our understanding of Philippine mangrove biodiversity. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) was recently mentioned on UNTV News on 05-September-2017 as continuously pushing for the periodic planting of mangroves. As a result of the assessment, 11 out of 70 (16%) mangrove species have been placed on the IUCN Red List. DENR spends roughly Php50K per hectare as part of the National Greening Program to plant mangroves. The Department of Environmental Science of the Ateneo de Manila University successfully hosted the 1st State of the Mangroves Summit: Northwestern Luzon on October 23-24, 2014, with more than 50 participants coming from the academe, national agencies, various NGOs, and local government units found along the coast of Northwestern Luzon. The rate of disappearing mangroves in this century is up to 50% in countries such as India, Philippines, and Vietnam, while in the Americas they are being cleared at a rate faster than tropical rainforests. “The loss of mangroves will have devastating economic and environmental consequences,” says Greg Stone, Senior Vice President, Marine Programs, Conservation International. Executive Editor, Maritime Review Magazine. The mangrove is known as the “rainforest of the sea,” and like the inland rainforest, a mangrove provides both economic and ecological benefits to the coastlines. 2013). Philippines. “Mangroves form one of the most important tropical habitats that support many species, and their loss can affect marine and terrestrial biodiversity more widely.”. The participants came from the academe, national and local government agencies, and environmental NGOs. We welcome volunteers – researchers, students, advocates – to help us generate information and knowledge about Philippine mangroves. Mangroves provide several ecological and socio-economic services to coastal communities valued at US$ 292,000/ha (UNEP 2007). The 2-day summit was hosted by Ms. Abigail Favis, a faculty of Ateneo’s Environmental Science Department and Campus Sustainability Program Manager of Ateneo’s Institute of Sustainability. A multitude of aquatic and salt-tolerant plants also grow within the mangrove forests. 2013; Gilman et al. Most of these losses can be attributed to conversion to aquaculture ponds particularly in the provinces of Pangasinan and Iloilo. It is believed that the Handbook will help promote mangrove rehabilitation in Panay, and set a model for other areas in the Philippines as well. Mangrove zones in Ajuy and Pedada bays have very few remaining species . The transition in utilisation of mangrove forests described above is observed in the Philippines. Only 13 of the 39 true mangroves reported in the Philippines (Sinfuego and Buot, 2008) were found in the study areas in Ajuy and Pedada bays. Specializes in operations research, evaluation, and analysis. Retired World Bank Group Operations Analyst.

The roots absorb oxygen from the air, and the tree leaves expel excess salt. 4.2 Case studies: mangrove reforestation with Environmental Cash for Work in Mindoro and Palawan 67 4.2.1 Socio-economic backgrounds of the four barangays 69 4.2.2 Methodology and sampling 73 4.2.3 Summary: the state, use and management of mangroves at the barangay level 74 4.3 Main findings of the mangrove reforestation case study 77 Long of EROS and Chandra Giri of ARSC, both of which were contractors of USGS in South Dakota, published in the Journal of Coastal Research, the estimated total area of Philippine mangrove coverage at 256, 185 hectares in 2000, which was a bit higher than DENR’s estimate of 247,362 hectares in 2003. To address mangrove degradation, various mangrove planting programs have been implemented in the last thirty years. There are limited studies that quantifiably document the contribution of these planting programs.

With the mangroves’ distinctive stilt and prop roots extending from the trunk, mangroves thrive in areas of soft, waterlogged, and oxygen-poor soil by using aerial and horizontal roots to gain a foothold in the soil. “The potential loss of these species is a symptom of widespread destruction and exploitation of mangrove forests,” says Beth Polidoro, Researcher and Principal Author, Global Marine Species Assessment Unit, in a joint study with IUCN and Conservation International. in 1970, and further to 123,400 ha. Mangrove ecosystems are most diverse in South Asian seas and least diverse in Caribbean seas.
