• Managing mangroves with benthic biodiversity in mind: Moving beyond roving banditry (2008, background): “First, prawn aquaculture generally requires destruction of mangroves for construction of rearing ponds (Sathirathai and Barbier, 2001; Barbier and Cox, 2004; Islam and Wahab, 2005).”
• Impacts of shrimp farming in Bangladesh: Challenges and alternatives (2011, background): “density of shrimp farms (Barbier and Cox, 2004).”
• Remote Sensing Approaches for Monitoring Mangrove Species, Structure, and Biomass: Opportunities and Challenges (2019, background): “For example, mangrove forests are important in global carbon cycling and the reduction of atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations [2,3].”
• A New Resource Curse? Impacts of China’s Boom on Comparative Advantage and Resource Dependence in Southeast Asia (2007, background): “…estuaries, lagoons, and coastal mangrove forests for intensive shrimp farming—an industry driven almost entirely by exports—in Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and elsewhere is similarly aided by ‘‘de facto open access’’ (Barbier & Cox, 2004; see also Dutton, 2005; Fox, Adhuri, & Resosudarmo, 2005).”
• Creation of a high spatio-temporal resolution global database of continuous mangrove forest cover for the 21st century (CGMFC-21) (2014, background): “Knowledge of the economic value of mangroves to ecosystem services has existed for some time (e.g. Barbier & Cox, 2004; Barbier, 2006), with much of the literature concerned with how mangroves support fisheries (e,g, Chong, 2007; Lugendo et al., 2007).”
