Tropical Deltas and Coastal Zones Food Production, Communities and Environment at the Land–Water Interface

Tropical megadeltas contain some of the most significant areas of urban, agricultural and industrial development in the world. These regions also possess ecosystems that are both critically important and highly endangered, and hold a rich collection of historical and cultural resources. The incr...

Intensification of aquaculture and rice-based agriculture frequently produces negative effects that range from environmental degradation to social conflict; managing these impacts in a sustainable manner is imperative if we hope to protect the social and ecological foundations of tropical deltaic systems.
