“…A number of studies shows that the Government of Thailand has put strong efforts to control mangrove deforestation and promote community-based management of remaining mangrove forests; replant mangrove forests and mitigate some worst impacts on coastal villages by developing institutions to support local community management (Thampanya et al, 2006;Kongkeaw et al, 2019). The factors leading to success in community-based mangrove management have been also clearly defined, including leadership, livelihood and occupational change, experience and capacity to organise into groups, NGO support in initial phases, increasing government support and recognition in subsequent phases (Chu 2006;Kongkeaw et al, 2019). In fact, some factors have been already existed in a successful model of mangrove management in Dai Hop and Bang La communes, whereas they have been almost absent in Tan Thanh, Ngoc Xuyen and Ngoc Hai communes.…”

Mangrove forests are important and known as one of the most productive ecosystems in the tropics. They reduce the impacts of extreme events, provide important breeding grounds for aquatic species and build the resilience of ecosystem-dependent coastal communities. On the contrary, they are also known as one of the most threatened and vulnerable ecosystems worldwide, which have experienced a dramatic decline due to extensive coastal development during the last half-century. Remote sensing techniques have demonstrated a high potential to detect, identify, map, and monitor mangrove conditions and its changes, which is reflected by a large number of scientific papers published on this topic. The aim of this study was to investigate the multi-decadal changes of mangrove forests selected communes in Hai Phong city, North Vietnam, based on using Landsat and Sentinel 2 data from 2000 to 2018. The study used these continuous steps: 1) data pre-processing; 2) image classification using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index; 3) accuracy assessments; and 4) multi-temporal change detection and spatial analysis of mangrove forests. The classification maps in comparison with the ground reference data showed the satisfactory agreement with the overall accuracy was higher than 80.0%. From 2000 to 2018, the areas of mangrove forests in the study regions increased by 584.2 ha in Dai Hop and Bang La communes (Region 1) and by 124.2 ha in Tan Thanh, Ngoc Xuyen and Ngoc Hai communes (Region 2), mainly due to the boom of mangrove planting projects and good mangrove management at the local community level.

“…For better management, a quick process implementation of allocation of mangrove forests to local residents and coastal communities should be taken into consideration to provide incentives to manage and protect mangrove forests at various levels (Kongwongjan et al, 2012;Datta et al, 2012;Phuc et al, 2013;Hai-Hoa, 2016). In particular, CBMM institutions should be restructured to ensure the local participation, which is based on user-decision making and mangrove resource sharing in both Nga Son and Hau Loc districts (Datta et al, 2012;Kongkeaw et al, 2019). Factors influencing the effectiveness of community based mangrove management, including leadership, occupational change, experience and capacity to organize into local groups, NGO support and increasing government support and recognition, should be taken seriously into the management process (Datta et al, 2012;Kongkeaw et al, 2019).…”

“…The cooperation system is one of the best solutions in the study areas where climatic conditions, economics, knowledge and traditional values are similar. Cooperation in mangrove protection and management should be applied between the CMMB groups; local commune mangrove forest protection station and public communication activities (Abdullah et al, 2014;Aheto et al, 2016;Kongkeaw et al, 2019).…”

Mangrove forests have been globally recognised as their vital functions in preventing coastal erosion, mitigating effects of wave actions and protecting coastal habitats and adjacent shoreline land-uses from extreme coastal events. However, these functions are under severe threats due to the rapid growth of population, intensive shrimp farming and the increased intensity of severe storms in Hau Loc and Nga Son districts, Thanh Hoa province. This research was conducted to monitor spatial-temporal changes in mangrove extents using Landsat and Sentinel imageries from 2005 to 2018. Unsupervised and supervised classification methods and vegetation indices were tested to select the most suitable classification method for study sites, then to quantify mangrove extents and their changes in selected years. The findings show that supervised classification was the most suitable in study sites compared to vegetation indices and unsupervised classification. Mangrove forest extents increased by 7.5 %, 38.6 %, and 47.8 % during periods of 2005 - 2010, 2010 - 2015 and 2015 - 2018, respectively. An increase of mangrove extents resulted from national programs of mangrove rehabilitation and restoration during 2005- 2018, increased by 278.0 ha (123.0 %).

“…This is due to the rapid expansion of commercial fisheries and aquaculture. Charcoal and mining concessions, urbanisation and coastal infrastructural developments have also influenced fisheries (Kongkaew et al ., 2019). Coastal resources drastically declined, as well as the catches of small‐scale fishers (Juntarashote, 2012).…”

In this article, we compare four fishing‐based areas in Thailand and the Philippines to examine if and how small‐scale fishing communities are able to escape marginalisation. Three questions guide our inquiry: (i) How have fishing communities been affected by overfishing, climate change and other pressures? (ii) What adaptive strategies have these communities employed to mitigate socio‐economic and environmental challenges? (iii) What has been the impact of these strategies on (escaping) marginalisation? Through a survey of 393 fishing‐based households and semi‐structured interviews with 59 key informants we find an uneven mixture of drivers, strategies and impacts. Respondents varyingly attribute declining fish catch to illegal fishing, overfishing, population increase, climate change and pollution. The case studies illustrate various degrees of adaptive successes that result from integration of top‐down and bottom‐up initiatives, and availability and access to livelihood strategies. However, the impact of adaptive strategies on overcoming marginalisation remains meagre and constrained by, among others, the power of illegal and commercial fishing and the absence of integrated spatial planning. We call for policy interventions and further research that takes into account the integration of top‐down and bottom‐up institutions, and the multiple dimensions and spaces of the drivers that shape fisherfolk marginalisation.
