Asia Pacific Mangrove Information Network (APMIN): A conceptual model

Abstract

Asia Pacific Mangrove Information Network (APMIN), its structure and scope, is discussed in this paper. Establishment of National Mangrove Information Centers (NMIC) in 20 Asia-Pacific countries, would contribute towards development of databases related to mangrove environments, which would lead to production of computerbased learning and awareness packages. These packages would greatly help in formulating strategies for the conservation and management of mangrove resources on a sustainable basis
