Simulating potential impacts of climate change on the habitats and carbon benefits of mangroves in China

Global Ecology and Conservation
Mangroves are among the most carbon-rich ecosystems in the world. However, they have experienced widespread loss due to climate change and have been reclaimed for coastal cropland and aquaculture ponds.

Nested Institutions and Overlapping Mandates: A Policy Analysis of Mangrove Governance in Ghana, Tanzania Mainland, and Zanzibar

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mangroves are critical resources in sustaining coastal communities by providing essential ecosystem goods and services. Occurring within the interface of land and sea, they serve as critical ecological zones shaped by dynamic interactions between terrestrial and marine systems.

Radical Listening as a Governance Innovation: Integrating Planetary Health and Community‐Led Forest Conservation in Indonesia

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While REDD+ prioritizes carbon sequestration, its narrow focus often overlooks forest‐health linkages critical to community well‐being. This paper examines the holistic model of Health in Harmony (HIH) and Alam Sehat Lestari (ASRI), which integrates forest conservation with healthcare through radical listening—a decolonial community engagement

Changes in soil organic matter content and quality in Amazonian mangrove forests converted to shrimp farms

Frontiers in Soil Science
Mangroves are highly efficient carbon sinks, yet they are increasingly threatened by aquaculture expansion. Moreover, the long-term impacts of shrimp farming on soil organic matter (SOM) quality and carbon sequestration in Amazonian mangroves remain ...

Addressing Barriers to Fair Community Participation in Mangrove Carbon Credit Projects: Insights From Thailand

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thailand has announced ambitious plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including a programme that allows private companies to earn carbon credits from protecting and restoring mangroves. In 2023, the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) began enrolling local communities and private firms in this scheme.

Assessment of anthropogenic disturbances on mangrove aboveground biomass in Malaysian Borneo using airborne LiDAR data

Egyptian Journal of Remote Sensing and Space Sciences
Mangroves are known for their carbon storage capacity, yet they are under immense pressure from human activities. This study assessed anthropogenic disturbances on mangroves’ aboveground biomass (AGB) in northern Borneo, Malaysia, using airborne light ...

Ocean Governance and Marine Conservation: Institutional Work as a Lever for Ocean Sustainability

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ocean governance presents one of the most complex environmental policy challenges of our time, requiring coordinated action across multiple scales, sectors and stakeholder groups. This paper applies institutional work theory to systematically examine how actors create, maintain and disrupt the governance arrangements underpinning ocean ...
