Abstract(s)
Coastal wetlands, such as saltmarshes and mangroves that fringe transitional waters,
deliver important ecosystem services that support human development. Coastal
wetlands are complex social-ecological systems that occur at all latitudes, from polar
regions to the tropics. This overview covers wetlands in five continents. The wetlands
are of varying size, catchment size, human population and stages of economic
development. Economic sectors and activities in and around the coastal wetlands and
their catchments exert multiple, direct pressures.
