Mangrove Forest Ecology, Management and Restoration
Instructors: Roy R. “Robin” Lewis III & Jorge A. Herrera-Silveira
Languages: English & Spanish
The three day training course includes an introduction to mangrove forest ecology, management options and problems, and restoration design issues. There is a total of 24 contact hours for the course and each participant will receive a certificate of completion. A digital copy of the classroom program in .pdf format, along with additional materials including monitoring reports, will be given to each of the participants. Case studies of successful and failed mangrove restoration projects from around the world will be discussed and analyzed. The emphasis of the course is on cost- effective mangrove management and Ecological Mangrove Restoration (EMR) methods for successful restoration. Participants are invited to bring pending project designs or case studies already in implementation for professional review and critique. The second day of the course will include field trips to several mangrove restoration sites just north of Merida.
