“…Higher prices for crops and lower prices for farm inputs also spur faster deforestation (Chomitz et al, 2007). Wage increase can also stimulate deforestation (Barbier and Cox, 2004). Technological innovations make farming more profitable either prompting the expansion of farms into forest or attract new farmers to forest frontiers (Angelsen and Kaimowitz, 2001;Angelsen, 2006).…”

“…The remaining mangrove area should be designated as the conservation and economic zones. Moreover, community-based forest management should be established in both the economic and conservation zones (Barbier and Cox 2004) Committee are in charge of forest management and protection. For instance, the locality with the most effective and closest organizational structure for mangrove management is Can Gio district (Ho Chi Minh city).…”

“…The remaining forests were assigned to different forestry units belonging to the Forest Protection Sub-department for protection (Tuan 2006). Finally, the government has to provide technical, educational and financial support for local community organizations joining in management activities for mangrove forest (Barbier and Cox 2004).The case study in Hai Phong illustrated that the support funds from the central government for local community organizations such as the guard groups need to be taken into consideration. Up to now, the guard teams at these two coastal districts including Do Son received small support funds from the central government.…”

This research examined mangrove management in Hai Phong city, Vietnam. A combination of logistic regression model data and field survey data were used to investigate the driving forces of mangrove changes. The results indicate that implementation of mangrove management investigated by the authorities, community or local people has affected mangrove change. The main driving force of mangrove loss is over expansion of shrimp aquaculture. The poorer families would like to participate in mangrove conservation activities more than richer households. Mangrove rehabilitation programs have been successfully managed by community-based forest management in cooperation with local authorities in some coastal communes. Nevertheless, the failure to convert shrimp culture from mangrove forest is recognized in other communities. These communes have to replant mangrove in abandoned shrimp ponds and follow the mangrove management used in former communes.

“…An efficient mitigation strategy would be to combine REDD? and A/R practices within a project, so as to prevent the displacement of emissions (Wunder 2008) such as in the Ban Sam Chong Tai village in Southern Thailand, where tree planting and forest protection have proven successful in protecting mangroves by combining community involvement and setting harvesting rules (Barbier and Cox 2004) (Fig. 2).…”

In this review paper, we aim to describe the potential for, and the key challenges to, applying PES projects to mangroves. By adopting a ''carbocentric approach,'' we show that mangrove forests are strong candidates for PES projects. They are particularly well suited to the generation of carbon credits because of their unrivaled potential as carbon sinks, their resistance and resilience to natural hazards, and their extensive provision of Ecosystem Services other than carbon sequestration, primarily nursery areas for fish, water purification and coastal protection, to the benefit of local communities as well as to the global population. The voluntary carbon market provides opportunities for the development of appropriate protocols and good practice case studies for mangroves at a small scale, and these may influence larger compliance schemes in the future. Mangrove habitats are mostly located in developing countries on communally or state-owned land. This means that issues of national and local governance, land ownership and management, and environmental justice are the main challenges that require careful planning at the early stages of mangrove PES projects to ensure successful outcomes and equitable benefit sharing within local communities.
