Ecosystem services Elements related to life
Aquatic collecting on mud flats in front of the mangroves
Fish catching with the use of bamboo boat and net
Clams transported by rafts
Baby/seed crabs Collection of along the mangroves
Collecting seed crabs and other marine species on mud flats in front of the
mangroves
Mangrove forests and life of the poor in coastal areas
Mangrove forests of significance to seadyke protection during big storms
650m of national dyke in Thai Do Commune being eroded after the storm No 7 due to
absence of protective mangroves. In early 2006, the government funded 2 billion VND for repair of the eroded
dyke section
5km of soil dyke in Thai Do Commune with mangroves safely
prevented from waves during storm No. 7 (taken on 10/10/2005)
Storm No 2 hitting the coastal zone in Hai Phong on 31/7/2005 and breaking the seadyke in Cat
Hai
During storm No 2, thanks to the mangroves planted since 1997, the seadyke in Bang La
was not broken
Project activities
• Evaluating present state of ecosystems, local life and mangrove management
• Awareness raising among local communities about mangrove conservation and rational exploitation of resources
• Establishing a club “Mangrove Conservation Club for the Green of the Sea”
• Daily record of activities related to aquatic resources
Activities
• Developing action plans for conservation and improvement of local life
• Developing criteria and indicators on well-beings of local people
• Analyzing issues related to management, protection and development of mangrove forests
Project beneficiaries
• Leaders at different levels: get a better understanding of livelihood of the poor as well as suggested solutions to appropriate policies.
• Public associations: contribute to formulating policies for their organizations.
• Local households: have a say proposing their need during the formulation and implementation of suitable policies.

Role of stakeholders related to local communities
InputGroup Good activities Bad activities
Mangrove planting and protection group
- Planting, protection-Propaganda- Give advice to Commune’s People’s Committee
None
Manual aquatic collector group
- Help collect barnacles - Inform forest guards of bad actions - Warn forest destroyers of their bad actions
-Step on newly planted seedlings - Fell trees for fuelwood
Aquatic exploiter group with tools
None - Destroy young seedlings- Degrade the environment- Cut down old mangroves- Control the dispersal of propagules
Aquaculture group Mangrove planting for protection of pond embankment
-Destroy mangroves (to enclose ponds, thus causing waterlogging and leading to seedling/tree death) - Use of chemicals affecting water and natural environment
Cattle tender group - Provide information on violation cases, help protect mangroves- Provide fertilizers
- Destroy young forest- Eat leaves, bring down big trees
Administration and social organizations
-Direct the planting and protection - Raise awareness, deal with violation cases- Development investment
- Make irrational decisions on exploitation, leading to forest loss
Output
• Better protection of mangrove forests
• Awareness of local communities raised
• Resources of the mud flats ratinally/irrationally used
• Pollution reduced to the maximum/increased
