The PCU recently received two videos from the Fanchenggang mangrove demonstration site in China. These have been loaded to the South China Sea Project video library.

The first video is a 1.20 minute TV news story on a meeting between NGOs in Guangxi and the Fangchenggang Mangrove Friendly Association for the exchange of information and experiences about mangrove management – click here.

The second video is a 12 minute TV documentary on the Fanchenggang mangrove site which highlights the work of the Fangchenggang Mangrove Friendly Association, eco-farming, training, and assessment of the effects of cold weather on mangroves – click here.

Both of these TV news stories generated much publicity for the Fanchenggang site and mangrove management in southern China. Members of the project network are encouraged to submit similar multi-media materials to the Project Coordinating Unit.
