Mangroves are considered the “wonder flora” distributed in the tropics, subtropics, and warm temperate latitudes. Aside from protecting the coastal marine communities, mangroves also serve as a haven for aquatic and terrestrial fauna, actively participate in energy dynamics, recycle nutrients, filter waste, and support the livelihood of coastal communities. This makes the mangrove ecosystem crucial to the well-being of the planet. This book, written by experts, provides invaluable insights into mangroves of the Niger Delta, the relationship between mangrove recruitment and thrombolytic development, deforestation and sustainability, mangrove health assessment, ecosystem-based coastal protection, and conservation through ecotourism. This book on mangrove biology, ecosystem, and conservation is an invaluable resource for every mangrove enthusiast.
This work looks at the policies and projects of the African Development Bank, which, like other multilateral banks, has come under growing criticism from grassroots organisations, environmental groups and others.

Studies of Economies in Transformation No. 19. Provides comprehensive data for evaluating market reforms in the states of the former Soviet Union. This is the fourth annual compilation of statistical data on the rapidly evolving economies of the former Soviet Union (FSU). It is an indispensable reference, providing even more comprehensive data than the 1994 handbook for evaluating market reforms in the FSU. It converts economic data used by socialist systems to the market-based system of national accounts and incorporates new national currencies in the data. The volume contains both English and Russian versions of the text. Decisionmakers have easy access to key statistics on the 15 independent states through the handbook's comparative tables, which provide cross-country data arranged by subject. Topics include production rates, human resources, and external trade. Country tables give detailed information on essential statistical indicators such as public finance, monetary statistics, employment, and labor. Technical notes and a detailed annex give helpful background information on the statistics. A complete bibliography is provided.
This collection contains 30 papers presented at Coastlines of Western Africa, part of Coastal Zone '93, the Eighth Symposium on Coastal and Ocean Management. held in New Orleans, Louisiana, July 19-23, 1993. Part of the Coastlines of the World series.
"The Symposium "Science and the Challenge of Managing Small Pelagic Fisheries on Shared Stocks in Northwest Africa" took place in Casablanca, Morocco, from 11 to 14 March 2008. It was attended by around 100 participants. Forty-three oral presentations and 30 posters were presented. The Symposium was split into four main sessions: resources and exploitation-biology and ecology of main resources and status of fisheries; dynamics and variability of pelagic fish populations and environmental influences; methods and models for assessing small pelagic fish stocks; and management of fisheries on shared resources. The Symposium ended with a general discussion aiming to identify specific problems to address as well as providing recommendations on ways forward. These Proceedings present a summary of the various sessions as well as on the outcomes of the discussion. They also provide scientifically reviewed papers and many of the papers in support of posters presented at the Symposium (non-scientifically reviewed). The papers and posters are available at www.smallpelagics2008.org ."--Page v.
