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.
