Mangroves, fishponds, and the quest for sustainability
Primavera, Jurgenne (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2005)
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2005)
Aquaculture, the farming of shrimp and other useful aquatic and marine plants and animals in artificially confined and tended ponds, pens, and cages, ranks as a phenomenal success story in global food production. In 1975, ...

Socio-economic impacts of shrimp culture
Primavera, Jurgenne (Blackwell Publishing, 1997)
(Blackwell Publishing, 1997)
Farmed shrimp contributed 27% of total world shrimp production in 1995 with a volume of 712 000 tonnes. Undoubtedly, the shrimp culture industry earns valuable foreign exchange for developing countries and generates jobs ...

Primavera, Jurgenne ; (Springer, 2008)
; (Springer, 2008)
From half a million hectares at the turn of the century, Philippine mangroves have declined to only 120,000 ha while fish/shrimp culture ponds have increased to 232,000 ha. Mangrove replanting programs have thus been ...

Are mangroves worth replanting? The direct economic benefits of a community-based reforestation project
; ; Primavera, Jurgenne ; ; (Cambridge University Press, 2006)
; ; (Cambridge University Press, 2006)
Competition for coastal land use and overexploitation have reduced or degraded mangrove coverage throughout much of their distribution, especially in South-east Asia. Timber production was the initial motivation for early ...

Development and conservation of Philippine mangroves: institutional issues
Primavera, Jurgenne (Elsevier, 2000)
(Elsevier, 2000)
The decline of Philippine mangroves from half a million hectares in 1918 to only 120 000 ha in 1994 may be traced to local exploitation for fuelwood and conversion to agriculture, salt beds, industry and settlements. But ...

Mangroves and brackishwater pond culture in the Philippines
Primavera, Jurgenne (Springer Verlag, 1995)
(Springer Verlag, 1995)
Around 50% of mangrove loss in the Philippines can be traced to brackishwater pond construction. The decrease in mangroves from 450 000 ha in 1920 to 132 500 ha in 1990 has been accompanied by expansion of culture ponds ...
