Abstract

This chapter derives the major findings and synthesizes the significant lessons based on thematic review of case studies furnished in this book. This chapter narrates the key achievements, opportunities and challenges as well as provides broad recommendations for sustainable mangrove conservation through co-operative/participatory arrangements. The chapter also highlights some potential innovative arrangements to improve the performance of the existing co-management mechanisms and, thereby, envisages for greater community participation and adaptive management of fragile mangrove resources in the Asia-Pacific region.
