Critical Coastal Habitats
Coastal ecosystems by unit area are far more productive than terrestrial or marine ecosystems. Central to this productivity—and the many associated services they provide to humanity—are the estuaries, coastal wetlands, seagrass beds and coral reefs. These can be termed “critical” coastal habitats. Large portions of these important elements of coastal ecosystems were destroyed or degraded in the past century and the downwards trend continue unabated in many regions. For coastal managers the conservation and rehabilitation of what remains is a top priority.Current CRC Activities linked to this Theme
