International Conference on Conservation and Sustainable Development of Coastal Wetland

Coastal wetlands are well-known for their ecological importance of providing habitat and food to wildlife, whereas coastal wetlands also possess multiple functions to societies such as shoreline erosion prevention, resilience against storms & floods and recreation. As the rapid development and urbanization continues, protect, conserve and rehabilitate coastal wetlands is more urgent and crucial than ever. In this regards, the conference is called to provide a platform for scientists, scholars, government officials, NGO workers and students to exchange views on issues related to coastal wetland research, and current challenges in and solutions to coastal wetland conservation and development.
