CTI ENGINEERING INTERNATIONAL OYO INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION The following foreign exchange rate is applied in the study: US$ 1.00 = PKR 88.4 PREFACE The National Disaster Management Plan (NDMP) is a milestone in the history of the Disaster Management System (DRM) in Pakistan. The rapid change in global climate has given rise to many disasters that pose a severe threat to human life, property and infrastructure. Disasters like floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts, sediment disasters, avalanches, GLOFs, and cyclones with storm surges are some prominent manifestations of climate change phenomenon. Pakistan, which is ranked in the top ten countries that are the most vulnerable to climate change effects, started planning to safeguard and secure the life, land and property of its people in particular the poor, the vulnerable and the marginalized. However, recurring disasters since 2005 have provided the required stimuli for accelerating the efforts towards capacity building of the responsible agencies, which include federal, provincial, district governments, community organizations, NGOs and individuals.

Ahmed School of Oceanography, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, U.SA. APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE ,OF MANGROVE ECOSYSTEMS FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRESENT STATUS OF MANGROVES OF PAKISTAN. The global inventory of obligate mangroves consists of 54 species belonging to 20 genera in 16 families and are estimated to occupy about 23 million hectares of shel­ tered coastal intertidal land (Tomlinson, 1986; Lugo and Snedaker, 1974; Chapman, 1975, 1976). These are regarded as 11 obligate11 mangroves as they are 11 restricted11 to coastal saline intertidal environments compared to 11 facultative 11 mangroves which may develop in non-coastal environments. In a general classification scheme basically two groups of mangroves can be identified: (a) the Eastern Group: mangroves on the coasts of Indian and Western Pacific Oceans, (b) the Western Group: Those on the coasts of the Americas, West Indies and West Africa. Generally speaking, the Eastern Group of mangroves is richer in species diversity with mangroves in India and southeast Asia exhibiting species diversity of > 20 with generally healthy and luxurious plant growth.
