“…An ecotourism area is said to be good and successful if it can achieve three goals: 1) environmental preservation 2) ensuring visitor satisfaction and 3) increasing the integration of community development around the area and its development zone (Arriagada et al 2012;Arkwright 2018;Adegboyega et al 2019).…”

Mangrove forest is a unique and vulnerable ecosystem. This ecosystem serves both ecological and economic purposes. The Siak government has begun to develop the Sungai Apit District mangrove area, which has potential. The goal of this research was to develop a sustainable mangrove ecotourism strategy through five research goals: (1) identification of mangrove species diversity; (2) identification of ecotourism supply; (3) identification of ecotourism demand, (4) development strategy of mangrove ecotourism, and (5) development of the potential for mangrove ecotourism to increase the SDGs value. This research was conducted from January to April 2020. The supply and demand of natural tourism objects and attractions were assessed using ADO-ODTWA criteria analysis. The IFAS/EFAS and SWOT analysis was used to develop a mangrove ecotourism development strategy based on the valuation of ADO-ODTWA aspects. The contribution of mangrove ecotourism to UNESCO’s SDG indicators for sustainable development. According to research, there are 35 species of mangroves on the Sungai Apit coast. The outcomes demonstrated that the feasibility level of tourism attractions (204 points) and supporting elements (472 points) met high-level criteria. It indicated that the area had a high potential for development as a mangrove ecotourism area. Based on IFAS/EFAS, SWOT analysis and the grand strategy selection matrix, the position of mangrove ecotourism strategy was in Quadrant I (Strength-Opportunity). The strategy that could be developed included (1) developing special interest mangrove ecotourism product; (2) increasing facilities; (3) improving the quality of human resources; (4) developing a network on the website and (5) increasing coordination with the Government. By implementing ecotourism strategy, the SDGs can be achieved, including: no poverty (goal 1); decent work and economic growth (goal 8); climate action (goal 13); life below water (goal 14); life on land (goal 15); and partnerships to achieve goals (goal 17).

“…Nevertheless, over the years, mangrove degradation has become rampant due to rapid physical development and unsustainable management of the forests. Several studies have shown that mangrove biodiversity has also been affected (Datta et al, 2012;Malik et al, 2015;Adegboyega et al, 2019;Sofian et al, 2019). Malaysia has the fifth-largest mangrove forest in the world (Spalding et al, 2010) and, remarkably, Sabah is blessed with the largest and vast of such area.…”

“…Additionally, from 1984 to 2013, land reclamation activities for urban development have reduced 6,717 ha of mangroves, 1,314 ha of wetlands and 1,740 ha of water bodies, eliminating natural flood control infrastructure. Although reclaimed lands are vulnerable to flooding and seawater resurgence, land reclamation in Lagos continues to increase at the expense of coastlines and wetlands (Adegboyega and others, 2019). For example, the Eko-Atlantic City project aims to build an island on 10 million m2 of land reclaimed from the Atlantic Ocean on the coast of Victoria Island, one of the most affluent neighbourhoods in Lagos (Ajibade, 2017).…”

Lagos faces increasingly severe annual flooding, exacerbated by sea level rise and subsidence. In 2021, floods again submerged vehicles and houses, displacing thousands from their homes. The demand for sand in construction materials drives illegal sand mining and erosion on the coast of Nigeria, degrading ecosystems and increasing flood risk. This technical background report for the 2021/2022 edition of the Interconnected Disaster Risks report analyses the root causes, drivers, impacts and potential solutions for the Lagos floods through a forensic analysis of academic literature, media articles and expert interviews.
