“…Mangrove ecosystems covering about 132,000 Km 2 , is a transitional intertidal ecosystem found in the subtropical and tropical shores between 30°North and 30°South latitude (Martin et al 2019;Deng et al 2021). They are key providers of crucial ecological services, such as carbon sequestration, food and water provision, coastal protection and habitat for marine life, environment purification and climate regulation (Ragavan et al 2019;Wang and Gu 2021). Aside from this, the most salient service is protecting coastal areas from natural disasters, such as tsunamis and hurricanes (Luo et al 2019;Deng et al 2021).…”

“…Many benthic organisms, such as crustaceans, mussels and bivalves reside over the coastal side of these mangroves, and being deposit-feeders, their chances of ingesting microplastics present in the sediments of mangroves are higher. Land based sources for introducing microplastics into this ecosystem include industrial effluents, water treatment plant discharges, etc., whereas the ocean-based sources include tourism, fishing supplies, etc., Water current and weathering are few drivers that aid microplastics reach the mangrove ecosystems, leading to bioaccumulation within living organisms (Wang and Gu 2021). Due to such drivers, studies should account samples of soil, water, and sediments to calculate the extent of contamination within this ecosystem.…”

Microplastics in mangroves and coral reef ecosystems: a review

Microplastic pollution has recently been identified as a major issue for the health of ecosystems. Microplastics have typically sizes of less than 5 mm and occur in various forms, such as pellets, fibres, fragments, films, and granules. Mangroves and coral reefs are sensitive and restricted ecosystems that provide free ecological services such as coastal protection, maintaining natural cycles, hotspots of biodiversity and economically valuable goods. However, urbanization and industrial activities have started contaminating even these preserved ecosystems. Here we review sources, occurrence, and toxicity of microplastics in the trophic levels of mangrove and coral reef ecosystems. We present detection methods, such as microscopic identification and spectroscopy. We discuss mitigating measures that prevent the entry of microplastics into the marine environment.

“…The rise in the mean surface temperature by 4.4°C by end of this century (Krishnan et al, 2020) will give away uncertainties on predictions of extreme events and for implication of strategies on varied zones of India (Yaduvanshi et al, 2020). Further, the study by Wang et al 2021 show anthropogenic activity is the dominant cause of observed warming, since the mid-20th century. In view of this, global warming and its effects on human societies, regional availability of water, agricultural productivity, etc.…”

The present study has been taken up to quantify the possible impacts of the climate change on the climate variables using the outputs of global climate models datasets over the Ghataprabha Sub-basin. The climate variables (precipitation, maximum and minimum temperature) data from the five selected global climate model dataset were downscaled using change factor method under four representative concentration pathway (RCP 2.6, 4.5, 6.0, and 8.5) scenarios for future periods near-century (2010-2039), mid-century (2040-2069), and end-century (2070-2099). The downscaled results of all the five models were ensembled using multi-model ensembling method to reduce the uncertainty in the projected results and the percentage change in the climate variables were shown with respect to the historical/baseline period (1961-1990) using spatial plots and histograms. The future projected results shows that percentage change in the annual mean precipitation with respect to the historical (1961-1990), is decreasing for most of the grids in the study area during the near-century while during mid and end centuries it shows an increasing trend across all the four RCP scenarios. The average daily minimum and maximum temperature with respect to the historical (1961-1990) values were showing an increasing trend in the study area during the near, mid, and end centuries across all the four RCP scenarios. Further, study also analysed the percentage change in 100-year return level over the study area.

“…Worldwide, this ecosystem, which links the marine and terrestrial ecosystems, is considered one of the most productive (Sreelekshmi et al 2021). The mangrove ecosystems are recognized for the roles they play in the maintenance of marine biodiversity in tropical and subtropical regions and their functions in the global biogeochemical processes and climate change mitigation (Wang and Gu 2021).…”

Abstract. Alimbon JA, Manseguiao MRS. 2021. Community knowledge and utilization of mangroves in Panabo Mangrove Park, Panabo City, Davao del Norte, Philippines. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 11: 51-57. Awareness of community knowledge and utilization patterns of mangrove ecosystems and their services is integral to conservation and management. However, this aspect remains to be less explored, especially in the Philippines. Hence, this study assessed the community knowledge and utilization of mangroves in Panabo Mangrove Park, Panabo City, Davao del Norte Philippines, using a survey research design. Through a simple random sampling procedure, 154 residents living near the area were surveyed using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using frequency and percentages. Results revealed that the majority were knowledgeable of the existence and the services of mangroves except for their medicinal uses. It was also found out that many respondents have less to no knowledge of the different species of mangroves. Further, most respondents reported that they used the mangrove ecosystem as a food source on varying frequencies but never utilized it for other purposes such as fuelwood, medicine, dyeing agent, construction materials, fishing poles, household furniture, and other items.
