Understanding the Assessment & Data Needs for Estimating the Coastal Protection Services of Philippine Mangroves & Coral Reefs

July 25-26, 2016, Manila, Philippines

Organized by WAVES-Philippines

Workshop Aim and Objectives:
1) To familiarize the audience with Approaches for Valuing Coastal Protection Benefits from Mangroves and Coral Reefs with a focus on recommendations from recent World Bank Guidelines;

2) To discuss and identify existing data and data needs for estimating mangrove protection values.

This training is meant for:
(a) biologists/ecologists/GIS staff that are interested in valuing flood protection benefits, and
(b) risk managers/engineers that are interested in understanding how ecosystems can be considered in their 'standard' models and frameworks.

Technology & Infrastructure Needs: We will require internet access during the workshop. We do not anticipate running computer-based models, but having access on several computers to on-line mapping services will be useful.

1. Philippine Statistics Authority (Day 1 PM session presentation)
2. NAMRIA
3. DENR Bureaus
