A legal framework for managing mangrove ecosystem services

该项目旨在审查法律和政策方面的挑战，并结合专家意见，制定一个承认和保护红树林提供的多种生态系统服务的法律框架。由于红树林在沿海环境中提供了重要的生态系统服务，因此全球红树林的损失率令人非常关注。在澳大利亚的情况下，重要的是国家和州的法律框架有效运作，以管理和保护这些宝贵的资源。该项目开发的框架将适用于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.
