Abstract:
The Mangrove Management Group is a informally organized and open collaboration between various scientists of the Free University Brussels (VUB), intending to combine their diverse expertises (chemistry, botany, zoology, socio-economy, remote sensing) as applied to the mangrove ecosystem in its widest sense. It is expected and it was experienced that this diverse input is scientifically very enriching for all partners and that it allows to tackle a wider range of problems. Though there is a general interest in fundamental questions (and answers), the Mangrove Management Group is very much aware of the fact that research into this complex ecosystem can rarely or never take place without taking into account its vital role for human society, particularly for people directly relying on mangrove resources. It is also realized that this is more commonly the case for developing countries. It is a principle that wherever and whenever possible scientists or other people who can contribute from the host country be involved and/or receive feedback about results.

The general mission of the Mangrove Management Group then is to contribute scientifically to a better understanding of the mangrove ecosystem and to yield elements to improve mangrove management and conservation.

The group has actually deployed most activities in Kenya, India, Sri Lanka and Mauretania. It has links to mangrove research in Tanzania, Vietnam, Mexico.
