II. THEORY

The primary goals of conservation and protection of coastal

wetlands and mangrove forests are to increase public awareness

and education about these habitats, provide designated

conservation areas, and integrate coastal wetland/mangrove

restoration into current coastal planning. National governments

have not been able to regulate development and industry

effectively to save many wetlands, and current developments

are not adequately planned and implemented to provide

conservation, restoration, and mitigation measures for nearby

wetlands. Meanwhile, stricter local governmental regulations

and enforcement protecting mangroves are necessary. Also,

involvement of local communities in sustainably managing and

protecting their coastal resource base, including the nearby

mangrove forests, is essential. Besides that, the product from

mangrove forest also able to help PIFWA to generate income

for their centre income to continue support for this meaningful

activities.
