Recommendations from local community
• Property right of land• Owned land: shrimp ponds, clam
farming (mud flat): budget for land bidding, suitable species for planting or compensation budget for site clearance
• Public land: resurvey for land fund; Nam Thinh (bid for one-year clam farming land under the planning)
• Budget: State investment (70% or 100%)
• Mobilizers: Commune’s People’s Committee, mass organization, encouragement/mobilization. Mangrove planting and management should be assigned to individual households and then the planted mangroves returned back to local authorities.
• Land available for planting• Should plant a mangrove belt along
the seadyke in accordance with the ordinance
• Lowly effective farming ponds: should invest in mangrove nursing for mangrove –shrimp combination model Bare flat: young sandy soil; suitable mangrove species should be found for sea
• Invasion Model: pilot model or expansive/massive model for the whole pond
• Owners Advocacy/awareness raising combined with economic benefits Implementer: pond owners, different departments/divisions
• Management: party committee, Commune’s People’s Committee, Women Association, departments/divisions, specialized group, budget
THE CAUSES OF MANGROVE DESTRUCTION
• CONVERSION TO POND AQUACULTURE, PARTICULARLY SHRIMP
• CLEARANCE FOR URBANISATION AND PORT DEVELOPMENT;
• SEDIMENTATION OF THE RIVER MOUNTH
Section 5
9
CURRENT THREATS TO MANGROVE SYSTEMS
Anthropogenic Threats• Reclamation and infrastructure
development • Pollution from shrimp farming • Conversion to industrial parks,
ports and harbours • Conversion-to shrimp culture
potential long-term threat
Natural Threats • Sea level rise• Episodic events – tsunami,
typhoon.
Transboundary Influences• Regional trade – Charcoal, wood
chips• Global trade – Shrimp
CHALLENGES FOR SUSTAINABLE MANGROVE USE
• Lack of sustainable financing
• Poverty of coastal communities
• Weak or non-existent law enforcement
• Lack of understanding on the part of the general public and decision makers regarding the functions and values of mangrove ecosystems.
• Ineffective management systems and land-use planning
• Lack of experience and techniques for multi-species replanting
• Lack of long-term regional and international co-ordination and co-operation; and,
CURRENT NEEDS IN MANGROVE RESTORATION
• A PARAMOUNT CONSIDERATION IS THE NEED TO DIVERSIFY THE RANGE OF SPECIES USED IN REPLANTING/ RESTORATION WITH A CONSEQUENT GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF:
• THE SITE SPECIFIC LIMITS TO SPECIES DISTRIBUTIONS IN RESPONSE TO ABIOTIC ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS.
• HANDBOOKS OF REPLANTING TECHNIQUES AND SIMPLE GUIDES TO IDENTIFICATION OF APPROPRIATE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS FOR DIFFERENT SPECIES
• NATIONAL PROGRAMMES THAT FOSTER MULTI-SPECIES REFORESTATION BY PROVIDING CONCRETE INCENTIVES

Sustainable Livelihoods Framework
(DFID; Guidance Sheet – Section 1, 1999)
Gender Analysis FrameworkCategory of
enquiry Issues to consider
1) Assets (natural, physical, financial, human, social)
• What livelihood assets/opportunities do men and women have access to?
• What constraints do they face? 2) Roles and
responsibilities
• What do men and women do? (1) Productive roles - paid work, self-employment,
and subsistence production, (2) Reproductive roles (domestic work, child care and
care of the sick and elderly) 3) Power and
decision-making • What decision-making do men and/or women participate
in or control? (1) Household level (2) Community level
4) Needs, priorities and perspectives
• What are women’s and men’s needs and priorities?
Note: Adapted from DFID Infrastructure Department (1999)
Assessment of livelihoods, goods and services
PCA with Ban Talad Has community at Pak Phun TAO
PCA with Ban Kong Khong community at Ban Kong Khong School
PCA with Ban Pak Nam Pak Phayacommunity at Ban Pak Nam Pak
Phaya School
About 30 villagers from each community participated in PCA (Total – about 90 villagers)
Specific objectives and methodologies for assessment of livelihoods, goods and services
Objectives Methodologies/Tools
(1) To assess the assets of each community
Review of secondary data, site observation, questionnaire, and focus group (natural, physical, financial, human, and social assets)
(2) To assess the role of mangrove for providing goods and services in the livelihoods of poor people
PCA - Brainstorming • Rank the importance of mangrove goods and
services • Map the flow of goods and services supporting
the communities (Marketing channel)
(3) To assess the vulnerability context of each community
PCA- Brainstorming • Rank the causes of impacts on the mangrove
forest and mangrove aquatic resources • Trend line of the quantity of natural resources,
the economy, social relation, and conflicts in different periods
• Seasonal calendar of activities related to the mangrove ecosystem
(4) Address specific gender issues
PCA- Participatory Gender Framework Analysis • Mapping of community assets (natural, physical,
financial, human, and social) • Perceptions of roles and responsibilities, • Perceptions of power and decision-making • Rank the needs and priorities
1. Assessment of community assets
Section 6

Assessment of community’s assets
The asset pentagon (DFID; Guidance Sheet – Section 2.3, 1999)
• Human assets (H) - e.g. health services, education, and information access
• Natural assets (N) - e.g. natural goods and services derived from the mangrove ecosystem, resources and the system of land allocation
• Financial assets (F) - e.g. capital/income, credit, and levels of trust
• Physical assets (P) - e.g. Infrastructure, tools and equipment that people use to work more productively
• Social assets (S) - e.g. social networks (vertical/ horizontal), membership of more formalized groups
Review of secondary data, site observation, questionnaire, and focus group

Shocks in the pastIn 1962 - Typhoon “Harriet” with wind speeds over 90 km/hr swept through the province during October 24-25. Laem Talumpuk was swept clean. More than 1,000 people lost their lives and 422 were injured.
In 1970 - Mangrove forest areas were cleared for shrimp farming.
In 1989 - Thai government launched the Cabinet Resolution on August 1st, 1989 – The reservation and protection for mangrove forest areas in Surat Thani and Nakhon Si Thammarat Provinces.
In 1995 - Dam was constructed.

PROBLEM TREE OF THE RESEARCH SITESThe functions attributed to mangrove forests are:1. Provide firewood, and material for roof cover and for traps (mainly for crab)2. Protection of land from high tide and from erosion of current and waves 3. Shelter of aquatic animals from heat and predators4. Refuge for reproduction of mud crab, fish and shrimp 5. Keep quality of water good6. Protection of dikes from ponds7. Source of food for fish and shrimps 8. Keep production of ponds high.
MANGROVE DERIVES GOODS AND SERVICES
POTENTIAL INDICATORS FOR ECOSYSTEM MONITORINGAccording to the pond farmers and fishermen the following indicators can be used to monitor the effect of mangrove management:
1. Enough seed for fish and shrimp; 2. Easy to find mud crab; 3. Less mortality of shrimp;4. The presence of apes and wild pigs; 5. Less destruction of coastline from waves compared to the present narrow
area at the riverside composed of Nypa mainly.
CONCLUSIONS1. In the research sites in Mahakam Delta, close to 90% of the mangrove cover
has disappeared
2. Around 80% of the livelihood activities of the population of the research sites, pond-farmers, pond care-takers, fishermen and farmers, is based on or related to the mangrove resource.
3. The relative contribution of pond farming to livelihood is on average close to 50%, which makes the population highly vulnerable for decreasing pond productivity
4. A huge part of the ponds is non-productive, and was opened for speculation on high profits, on land value and on compensation by oil companies.
RECOMMENDATIONSSome pond owners started to replant mangrove, this gives an opportunity
to start action research with the farmers to establish the best ways to recover the mangrove ecosystem.

9. Consortium Workshop - Day 2 Having reviewed the outcomes of the Situation Analysis it was proposed by SEI that this would
be a good point in the proceedings to consider what research questions this earlier work posed.
Stuart Bunting and Paul van Zwieten then presented an overview of WPs 3 and 4, respectively
with a view to planning the implementation of these work packages in more detail (see Annex 3
and Annex 4). During the second half of the day two groups with representatives from each
project partner were formed to work on planning the implementation of these work packages in
more detail; outcomes for WP3 and WP4 and summarized in Sections 11 and 12, respectively.
Nguyen Song Ha then presented an update concerning progress with WP2 (Section 13) and Neil
Powel presented an introduction to WP5 focusing on social learning (Section 14).
10. Phase II research questions Research questions were explored in 3 groups, outcomes for the individual groups dealing
specifically with Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam are presented in Annex 2. A composite set of
questions under broad headings of ecological, livelihoods and policy and institutions was
developed and agreed upon by the workshop participants. Moreover, considering the
multidisciplinary nature of the MANGROVE Project consortium emphasis was also given to
identifying cross-cutting issues that the partners could address in collaboration.
10.1. Ecology (WP3)
How do the ecological services within mangrove systems impact on fishery production?
To what extent has the productivity of fish and shrimp larvae (and possibly other important
resources e.g. crabs) in mangroves changed, and why has this change occurred?
Is reduced pond productivity relate to mangrove functioning?
Is the capacity of mangroves to filter and protect changing and what impact might this have on the
ecosystem and livelihoods?
What is the role, impact and perception of the different people/user groups concerning ecosystem
change? How do they perceive their own and others role in “reductions”?
What impact does mangrove planting have on livelihoods and ecosystem health?
10.2. Livelihoods (WP4)
What are the community’s assets (natural, physical, financial, human, social) and how does this
impact on mangroves, their livelihoods and access to other assets or livelihood strategies?
36
37
What is the dependency level of different wealth categories on mangrove ecosystems?
How do peoples’ rights and access to mangrove related assets (5 assets) influence livelihood
outcomes?
What are peoples’ priorities for their livelihood outcomes?
Coping strategies to deal with vulnerable livelihoods (individuals and community strategies) -
What do people do if they have a bad situations to achieve their livelihoods outcome?
Do healthy mangrove ecosystems contribute to building social resilience?
How do power relationships between different stakeholders influence livelihood outcomes and
mangrove ecosystems?
Could access to improved market information and capital help conserve mangroves and improve
poor livelihoods?
10.3. Policy and institutions (WP5)
What is the legal status of property rights, how does this impact on mangroves and how can the
situation be improved?
What are the sharing arrangements and benefits, and are there any problems that could be
addressed?
Considering conflicts of interest, who are the losers and winners and why? What alternative
approaches (e.g. capturing multiple perspectives, feedback mechanisms, self-organizing system)
could be used to reconciling multiple demands?
Conflict resolution (e.g. community based, rules, regulations and policy) – What are the most
effective mechanisms to solve the conflicts or reconcile multiple demands?
From a local perspective: who is perceived as in control with regard to making “policy” and
decision making?
Which strategies are appropriate and most effective in achieve more sustainable livelihoods where
a bottom-up approach is necessary?

13. Workpackage 2 review Work package requirements (to date) Initial contact with stakeholders, including an assessment of current media interest in mangroves. Opinion will be sampled from primary stakeholders, national level institutions and policy makers and a communication plan developed for each of the 3 sites. Activities: From December 2006 to January 2007, an IAS workshop and several interviews were conducted in Nam Dinh and Hanoi, to identify media interest in the mangroves (see the findings and recommendations below) Deliverables (to date) D3 - Project summaries & bulletins in local languages & website established
- For Vietnam, the summaries are now available in English and Vietnamese - A website has been established but not frequently updated as a result of personnel change
in the management of NACA D4 - Communication plan for each site
- Communications plan has been developed for Vietnam - However, due to some political reasons, the plan will not be implemented until August.
Part I: Findings
• Communication effectiveness varies greatly with and between rural communities, depending upon factors such as proximity in relation to major centres and strategic routes.
• Communes that are closer to major cities and/or are situated near major communications infrastructure are likely to experience improved communication access.
• Productivity of the region, generally primary production, will also have a large role to play in the ability of local people to access information through a variety of media sources.
• Before working with local mangrove communities, it is important to assess these communication strengths and weaknesses in order to ensure the approaches taken are likely to be successful.
Communications Media in Mangroves
• Radio and television appear to be the most accessible media types for people living in
mangrove environments. Radio and television are available to communities through national and local broadcasting services. With television ownership estimated at 85-90% and 100% of people able access a television, it is regarded by local people as their preferred media for receiving information. However, the cost of using television as a communication media is very high and must be evaluated accordingly when investigating communication strategies.
• Although telecommunications across Viet Nam are reasonably developed, particularly in the major centres, it is estimated that less than 10% of people living in mangrove areas
39
are able to access these services for information exchange. The situation improves dramatically at a provincial level, where telecommunication services are readily available and widely used. Taking this into account, telecommunications is best served for communicating with provincial level officers and departments that can then disseminate the information to a district and commune level.
• Currently the situation is slightly worse for internet type communications, where accessibility is restricted almost entirely to the provincial level and above. This is likely to change in the next few years, with the price of infrastructure and hardware continuing to fall and the .com generation embracing the World Wide Web. Although close to 1/4 of Viet Nam's population has access the internet, it will remain difficult for individuals that reside in isolated rural communities to access this media type.
• The effectiveness of printed media is highly variable, with many communication activities being poorly researched and therefore having minimal impact on the target audience. Understanding the level of detail that local people will understand, using appropriate illustrations and examples, the method of dissemination and even timing all play a significant role in the effectiveness of printed media types. The most common issue with printed media is that local people are not able to find answers to questions that they might have and as a result the information is either misinterpreted or disregarded. Using printed media is most effective when combined with other communication strategies, particularly as a source of information to refer back to as knowledge is improved.
• The public address system is a useful tool for disseminating information to a large audience instantaneously. However, the quality of audio output is often poor and as a result the information may not be absorbed.
• The use of public events, such as festivals and competitions, on the other hand are interactive and highly regarded among local people. Public events are useful for disseminating information to target groups, such as school children, or the broader community.
• Likewise personal communications and information centres are very effective methods of sharing information with large groups of people. The advantage of these media types is that the information can be discussed and questioned, resulting in a common understanding of the people attending.
Access to Information for People Living in Mangrove Environments
• Workshops and training courses are the preferred method for gaining information, particularly when communicating with NGO's and specific project groups. When communicating with government, meetings were the most common method for receiving and sharing information. The downside is that workshops/training courses require time to attend and they are often crowded. This means that when planning activities, the organisers must be aware of being flexible and coordinating the workshop/training course around the abilities and constraints of local people.
• Respondents of this study identified a number of key issues that required improved knowledge and access of information. Theses issues included; improved knowledge in developing alternative livelihood strategies; information on how to protect the environment and improve public health and improved knowledge on how to protect and support the regeneration of mangrove forests. A number of smaller issues identified included improving awareness of protecting wild fish stocks and wild birds and improving local people's knowledge of legislative changes that may impact on their livelihoods.

Cost benefit analysis of communication techniques aimed at people living in mangrove environments of Viet Nam
Media Cost Strength Weakness Radio Moderate cost, VND 2 million
(USD 125) per 30 minute program High access, up to 97% nationally. Information can be broadcast in local/ethnic language. Access in remote areas
People prefer more interactive forms of media such as TV
Television and Video High cost for programming, VND 10 million (USD 625) per 10-30 minute program
Large audience and is the preferred media by the target group
Reception in some areas is poor, particularly for national programming. High costs for extended communication activities
Telecommunications Moderate cost, landline and mobile telephones cost between VND 1-5 million (USD 63-313), telephone calls can be expensive if used frequently
Real time access to information, questions can be answered
Telecommunication access across rural areas can be limited, high cost of maintaining regular communication
Internet Low cost, websites hosting and adding information is relatively inexpensive, VND 640 thousand (USD 40)
Potential audience is very large, easy to provide up to date information
Internet access and computer availability is low, especially in remote areas, requires commitment to keep information updated, need IT specialists and wide promotion
Printed Media Brochure, Pamphlet, Poster: Low cost, single pages can cost from VND 200 - 1,000 (USD 0.01-0.63). One off artists/editors might cost VND 1.6 million (USD 100) Newspaper: Moderate to high cost, VND 4-12 million (USD 250-750) depending on half or full page articles and colour content
People can retain information and refer to it later if necessary Far reaching in terms of number of people (up to 40,000 readers) and geographic spread (entire province), including some remote areas
Difficult to control content and understanding of information provided. Literacy rate in remote areas my not be high, materials should be pre-tested which can add to costs
Public Address Systems Low cost, the commune may ask for a small contribution for broadcasting information. If the system is not well maintained, users may be asked to contribute to general maintenance and upgrading
Regular broadcasting to a wide audience, low cost communications
Audio quality is often poor and messages may be misunderstood, clarification can not be gained through questioning. Public address systems are often poorly maintained and may not be functioning
Public Events and Competitions
Performance: High cost, logistical arrangements require significant time and effort. Performances of 90 minutes can cost between VND 32 million -1.28 billion (USD 2-8 thousand) depending on whether professional or local artists are used. Competition: Low cost, a competition involving 200 people might cost around VND 1 million (USD 63)
Large audience, culturally sensitive and can reach remote communities
Difficult to control content, Department of Culture and Information must be consulted, costs can be high
Workshops, Training and Personal Communication
Workshop: Moderate to high cost, 1 day workshop can cost over VND 16 million (USD 1 thousand) Training: Moderate cost, one day field trips cost around VND 2 million (USD125) for 40 people
Local people prefer practical instructions. Gender bias can be managed through inviting males and females
Can be costly and time consuming to organise. Foreigners need permission to travel and work in rural provinces
41
Information Centre High cost required for initial set up. However, use of existing structures can significantly minimise such expenditure. Costly to maintain with up to date information
General source of information where questions can be answered
Time consuming and requires promotion to be effective
Part II: Recommendations General recommendations
• Thoroughly research the communication infrastructure available to local people. Generally speaking, local people prefer to be engaged through interactive processes rather than have information simply delivered.
• The use of workshops and training courses appear to be highly regarded by local people, if the information is delivered at the right level and is relevant to their needs.
• Innovative methods such as public competitions and festivals are also well received and enable access to target groups or a wider audience. Tools that have been successfully used include drawing competitions, poetry competitions, public theatre and musicals.
• These methods align well with normal social activities and can be linked to the wider/global community through coordinating events with social/international calendars, such as world environment day.
• The government extension system is a resource and tool that should be strengthened sufficiently to support livelihoods development at a local level. .

Social Learning
Schön (1983) identifies the need for social learning in response to the loss of the perception of the stable state, that is, the belief that things remain constant over time. By accepting that rapid change is occurring one also has to accept that this requires continuous learning about how the change is occurring, the new situation and the nature of the processes used by institutions, organisations and society to transform in order to adapt to the new situation.
Social learning practices help us to:•Recognize and reframe our mental models•See issues through fresh eyes.•Resolve social dilemmas.•Define and articulate what we value.•Discover a shared purpose.•See through conflicting views to a shared vision for the common good•When regulation and inducement fail to guarantee adequate stewardship of natural resources, social learning may be a more powerful lever for change.

15. PMG meeting outcomes and consortium decisions
Having reviewed outcomes of the Situation Analysis (WP1) and assessed outstanding issues
and the need to conclude Phase 1 it was agreed that:
- partners should undertake actions to ensure Phase 1 is concluded by 1st September,
- UEssex to follow up on outstanding WP1 activities and outputs identified in group
sessions by meeting participants,
- UEssex to review WP1 reports (and suggest review also by at least 1 other partner) prior
to submission,
- UEssex to prepare supplementary WP1 report on Gender Framework Analysis application
and development in the project (by 24th August),
- UEssex to submit WP1 and Phase 1 deliverables to EC (1st September).
Based on the review of progress with WP2 three points were noted:
- UEssex to seek urgent update and evidence of action from NACA
- SEI offered to develop a concept note for internal cross case learning
- UEssex to develop a Communication Plan for the project to complement country level
plans already developed or expected
Considering P2 reporting:
- UEssex outlined P2 reporting obligations and deadlines and participants agreed to respect
these
- UEssex undertook to send an outline of elements required in P2 Management Report and
draft C Forms and to prepare the consolidated report
- UEssex undertook to draft the P2 Activity Report, coordinate additional inputs from
partners, and prepare the consolidated report for EC
Anticipating the transition to Phase 2 of the project the following points were raised:
- SEI proposed series of combined project workshops to enhance coordination and
facilitate action planning, all partners agreed
- SEI and WU proposed series of training workshops focused on CATWOE and logbook
data collection
- WP3 team agreed on common workplan for all three countries with UEssex responsible
for coordination
- WP4 team agreed on common workplan for all three countries with WU responsible for
coordination

Issues that came out of the state of the system analysis
Ecology :
1. reduced pond productivity 2. reduced capacity mangrove to filter and protect 3. reduced productivity of fish and shrimp larvae; potential decrease of other
important resources (e.g. crabs) role/level/perceptions of different people/user groups on ecosystem change and their
own and others role in the “reductions” Livelihoods:
1. Dependency level on ecosystem on different wealth categories 2. Access to market information, capital
Policy
1. From a local perspective: who is in control with regard to making “policy” and decision making?
2. Legal status of property rights 3. Sharing arrangements and benefits
Conflicts of interest losers of winners? Alternative approaches, multiple perspectives Feedback mechanisms

MANGROVE WP4 – Livelihoods WP4Introduction workshop July 2007
Paul van ZwietenRoel Bosma
Developments instigated by many resource use decisions byindividuals has lead to changed coastal landscapes …
… that have degraded production environments with highlyuncertain outcomes affecting livelihood continuity …
… i.e. decreased social and ecological resilience
Degradation occurs but is hard to detect given high variability in resource outcome…
Potential for detecting effects of better management practices is low ..
Uncertainty (CV) in shrimp culture is extremely high compared to small-scale Mahakam shrimp trawlers …

Decision making
Pathways
Individual decision making - focus on actors/agency - focus on learning
1. Actors (fishermen, shrimp farmers, traders etc.) are rational decision makers2. But they live in an insecure environment (natural, social, political) characterized by
risks that endanger the continuity of their income generating activities as fisheries, shrimp farming trading;
3. By consequence they take specific decisions to deal with risks and ensure livelihood goals;
4. These decisions are to a certain extent unpredictable, and are informed by:a) ecological factors (weather, the mangrove and coastal ecosystem, catch, fishing effort) (WP3);b) economic factors (markets, prices) (WP4 and 5); c) governance processes (government, local management arrangements,
relations with traders etc.) (WP5);5. The result of decisions are pathways, which emerge out of interaction with the
environment thus described; 6. Therefore every decision-maker is the result of earlier decisions;7. Decisions are taken within networks of social and political relations (WP4 and 5)8. Driving factors can be abstracted from careful analysis of decisions and resulting
pathways, and the relation between these decisions and larger networks (WP3, 4 and 5);
WP4 - Objectives
• To assess livelihood strategies of individuals/households dependent on goods and services form mangroves – in particular focussed on aquatic production: pond production and fisheries together with them
• To develop well-being indicators together with them• To identify conflicts and tensions between and within
livelihoods together with them• To propose draft action plans to reconcile multiple
demands together with them
WP4 – Elements case study approach with
• Assessment of mangrove and coastal bio-resource flows and contributions to income and food-security of mangrove dependent production and harvesting over 12 months
through regular monitoring of harvest and production of aquatic foods. 30 representative households will be sampled on pond harvest (stocked and natural) fisheries catches and cropping patterns and other uses of mangrove resources
- quantitative data on resources use portfolios, inputs; assess variability in resources use, • Access to mangrove derived goods and services
focus groups, participant observation- qualitative
• Benefits related to social networksobservations, interviews with participant mapping relational networks; scoring on importance of links
- qualitative• Magnitude and extent of supply and distribution networks
interviews with key informants- qualitative
• Development of well-being indicators in terms of human, natural, financial, social and physical capital
reflecting ecosystem state, economic state, social values, ethical/esthetical values
