Descripción
This report assesses the socio-economic roles and economic values associated with Egypt’s mangroves. Due to the nature of the study, it has only been possible to undertake a “rapid appraisal” of the socio-economic roles and economic value of Egypt’s mangroves. As such, the socio-economic assessment is only a partial appraisal of key aspects. Furthermore, the economic values determined are not highly accurate; rather they provide an indication of the relative order of possible value. Furthe r studies will be required to validate and enhance the accuracy, robustness and completeness of the socio-economic issues and economic values. Despite this, the study provides a valuable first step in the continuous process of fully understanding and evaluating the importance of Egypt’s mangroves.
