Towards sustainable mangrove-shrimp aquaculture through capacity building and partnership in the Mekong River Delta

Vietnam, the world's third-largest shrimp producer, witnessed a surge in shrimp farming when rice fields were converted into ponds, aiming to alleviate poverty in the Mekong River Delta (MRD). However, this growth significantly contributed to the decline of mangrove forests, as indicated by empirical and geospatial data. Local authorities have encouraged the application of “International...

Assessment of the feasibility of applying payment for forest ecosystem services in Vietnamese mangrove forests

Mangroves can play a major role in efforts to mitigate climate change through two pathways. These are (1) carbon sequestration following reforestation of areas where mangroves previously existed, and (2) protection of existing carbon stores in intact mangrove forests. There is considerable international interest in carbon mitigation by governments and businesses as a way of...
