2 BACKGROUND WETLANDS those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs and similar areas (Ramsar Convention on Wetlands)

3 WETLANDS CLASIFICATIONS MARINE Rocky beaches, coral reefs, and seagrass beds ESTUARINE River estuarine, delta, tidal swamp, and mangrove forests PALUSTRINE Fresh water swamps and marshes, peatland areas LACUSTRINE Lakes, dams, RIVERINE Rivers, streams

6 WETLANDS AREA MANAGEMENT VISION Wetlands as the most optimal natural live supporting system for the benefits of people, today and beyond.

7 MISIONS Increasing the concern, capacity, and active role of society, private sectors, and government Increasing the agreement of stake holders, from society, private sectors, and government Strengthen the coordinagtion between government sectors and local administrators Preparing informations and database, and also developing knowledge and technology while considering important local wisdom.

10 More Recent Problems 1. Wetlands area conversion Wetland today is mostly converted into real estate, fish and shrimp ponds, and rice fields. 2. Weakness in legal compliances Legal enforcement against violation (e.g real estate in the coastal zone, river banks, etc) is still not adequate, thus enlarging the risk of natural disaster. 3. Weakness in wetlands institutional system - Stake holder s role and responsibility is still in gray areas - The lack of understanding amongst stake holder on the importance of a comprehansive plan and strategy - The lack of experts and scientist - The lack of coordination amongst wetlands stake holders
