Global Mangrove Alliance reception
The Global Mangrove Alliance believes that our decisions should be guided by the best available science. We are also in a unique position to coordinate, compile, and disseminate the best available mangrove knowledge and resources for governments, communities, environmental managers, researchers, and communicators.
We invite all MMM5 attendees to an evening reception where will share the vision of the GMA and facilitate connections between GMA members and applied mangrove researchers.
Please join us on July 3 at 5:30 PM SGT at Singapore Sustainability Academy in the Gallery Room and terrace
Global Mangrove Alliance overview will begin at 6:00 PM, followed by poster presentations and networking with GMA members. Speakers include Dr. Jen Howard (Conservation International) and Dr. Dominic Andradi-Brown (World Wildlife Fund).
The SSA is located at 180 Kitchener Rd. Take the elevator at City Square Mall to Skypark Level 6. Go through the main entrance of the SSA and take a right, and the Gallery Room and terrace will be in front of you.
