International Society for Mangrove Ecosystems

The International Society for Mangrove Ecosystems (ISME) is a global organization dedicated to the study, conservation, and sustainable management of mangrove environments—coastal forests that provide vital habitat, protect shorelines, and support local communities. It brings together scientists, policymakers, and practitioners to share knowledge, promote research, and implement practices that ensure mangroves thrive worldwide. By fostering collaboration and raising awareness, ISME aims to protect these valuable ecosystems against threats like climate change, pollution, and deforestation.
