A legal framework for managing mangrove ecosystem services

该项目旨在审查法律的和政策挑战，以及专家意见，以制定一个法律的框架，承认和保护红树林提供的多种生态系统服务。全球红树林的损失率令人极为关切，因为它们在沿海环境中提供重要的生态系统服务。在澳大利亚，国家和各州的法律的框架必须有效运作，以管理和保护这些宝贵的资源。该项目中制定的框架将可调整，为澳大利亚其他脆弱的生态系统提供重大利益。

This project aims to examine legal and policy challenges, together with expert opinion, to generate a legal framework that recognises and protects the multiple ecosystem services provided by mangroves. Global rates of mangrove loss are of great concern because of the significant ecosystem services they provide in coastal environments. In the Australian context it is important that national and state legal frameworks operate efficiently to manage and protect these valuable resources. The framework developed in this project will be adaptable to provide significant benefits to other fragile ecosystems in Australia.
