Abstract
Coastal and marine vegetation, known as blue carbon ecosystems, plays a vital role in the lives of coastal communities throughout Southeast Asia, particularly in Vietnam. Mangrove forests, seagrass meadows, and salt marshes are distributed throughout the coastline of Vietnam with varying species diversity and spatial distribution patterns. This study performed a scientometrics analysis of blue carbon ecosystems in Vietnam, while also examining restoration initiatives and prospects for the country's blue carbon economy. Moreover, we also investigated the trends in blue carbon research in Vietnam, the challenges and issues related to blue carbon, and possible solutions to overcome these challenges. This study also considered the applications of remote sensing in blue carbon research in Vietnam.
期刊介绍:
Ocean & Coastal Management is the leading international journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of ocean and coastal management from the global to local levels.
We publish rigorously peer-reviewed manuscripts from all disciplines, and inter-/trans-disciplinary and co-designed research, but all submissions must make clear the relevance to management and/or governance issues relevant to the sustainable development and conservation of oceans and coasts.
Comparative studies (from sub-national to trans-national cases, and other management / policy arenas) are encouraged, as are studies that critically assess current management practices and governance approaches. Submissions involving robust analysis, development of theory, and improvement of management practice are especially welcome.
