Improving wetland management through First Nations’ knowledge and a spatial visualisation tool
As wetlands continue to decline, there is an urgent need to improve their management by following the guidelines of international programs. The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands requires assessing baseline conditions and monitoring, for which Earth Observations are powerful tools. However, spatial and temporal limitations require integrated co-management, incorporating First Nations' Knowledge. We address three case studies with unique management cha…
Recommendations for strengthening blue carbon science
Blue carbon (BC) habitats (e.g., mangroves, tidal marshes, and seagrasses) are important CO2 sinks but are among the most threatened ecosystems on Earth. Substantial research over the last decade has quantified BC to evaluate the climate benefits associated with habitat conservation and restoration. However, the exponential growth in BC science has resulted in differing approaches that hinder comparison across studies and increase uncertainty. He…
Enhanced but highly variable biodiversity outcomes from coastal restoration
Coastal ecosystems are being restored to combat environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. Colonization of restored sites by non-habitat-forming animals improves outcomes for ecosystems and society, yet there has been no review of how animals respond to coastal restoration. Here, we extracted 5,133 response ratios from 160 studies to show how coastal ecosystem restoration benefits animals as individuals, populations, and communities. Abunda…
The Mangrove Restoration Tracker Tool
Restoration is a key component of global and national efforts to combat ecosystem degradation, reduce biodiversity loss, and adapt to climate change, and there is currently an impetus to scale up restoration efforts. However, our ability to track progress toward restoration targets is limited by the lack of consistent and standardized data on objectives, interventions, and outcomes. To address this, a collaboration of conservation practitioners a…
Mangrove forests under climate change in a 2°C world
The world's nations are committed to keeping global temperature rises to less than 2°C to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Such a target is crucial for mangrove forests, because they are located primarily in tropical and subtropical regions that are expected to see large changes in climatic conditions; their intertidal location and sensitivity to changes in environmental conditions means that mangroves are expected to be on the front li…
Coastal wetland management in the Great Barrier Reef
Poor water quality caused by intensive sugarcane farming has been among the main causes of coastal degradation around the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Despite regulations and incentives, water quality in the GBR has yet to reach government targets, and there is an urgent need to investigate alternative management approaches. In this study, we have employed a social-ecological approach to understand farmers' attitudes to existing nutrient and sedimen…
Carbon sequestration and fluxes of restored mangroves in abandoned aquaculture ponds
There has been a growing interest in restoring mangroves to reduce and offset carbon (C) emissions, but it is still unknown whether restored mangroves provide ‘blue carbon’ services similar to natural ones. This study aimed to determine if 10 year-old restored mangroves in abandoned aquaculture ponds in Perancak Estuary, Bali have similar net primary productivity (NPP) and C sequestration to those of intact mangroves. Tidal re-instatement in the …
A global map of mangrove forest soil carbon at 30 m spatial resolution
With the growing recognition that effective action on climate change will require a combination of emissions reductions and carbon sequestration, protecting, enhancing and restoring natural carbon sinks have become political priorities. Mangrove forests are considered some of the most carbon-dense ecosystems in the world with most of the carbon stored in the soil. In order for mangrove forests to be included in climate mitigation efforts, knowled…
