Information
International Day for Mangroves

The General Conference of UNESCO (Paris, 2015) has declared
26 July each year be celebrated as the International Day for
the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem.

Newly launched portal site
Tropical Coastal Ecosystems Portal(TroCEP) is available!

Together with the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), Japan and ISME have been compiling information on coastal ecosystems in the tropics and subtropics. A portion of this information is made available through the newly launched portal site, called Tropical Coastal Ecosystems Portal (TroCEP). The portal site currently provides information only on mangroves, but it will eventually be extended to coral reefs and seagrasses.

TroCEP includes tables of country-by-country mangrove species distribution and mangrove distribution maps. The tables are still in progress, and more work is needed for the accuracy, especially where less documentation/information is available.

Your inputs and feedback are welcome. Please visit the site and send your input to "trocep" (add "@mangrove.or.jp") or "TroCEP"(add "@nies.go.jp").
