Climate change adaptation and mitigation can be achieved through mangrove conservation and rehabilitation. Mangroves provide important ecosystem services like coastal protection, wildlife habitat, and fisheries. They also store large amounts of carbon that helps mitigate climate change. Efforts are needed to restore degraded mangrove areas to adapt to sea level rise and protect remaining forests to reduce carbon emissions. Integrating mangroves with aquaculture can provide environmental and economic benefits over the conversion of mangroves to aquaculture ponds.

- sedimentation rate keeps up with the rate of sea level rise
- substrates for retreat available in landward margins

Natural: sealevel change, erosion
Anthropogenic: Oil spills, War
- Small-scale harvest: fuelwood, fishing poles,

aquaculture ponds salt beds agriculture
• RECOMMENDATIONS
• Restore/rehabilitate degraded areas (planned retreat:
• CC adaptation)
• Protect remaining forests (C sinks: CC mitigation)
Oil spills harbors Vietnam War
