The MANGROVE SHELLFISH session will address the following topics: mangrove biodiversity, conservation and reforestation ; the Mangrove Epigenome (MangroveENCODE ) Project o f t he FUCOBI Fo undation o f Ecuador: A One Health a pproach t o Conservation o f Healthy Mangroves, t o p roduce h ealthy s hellfish a nd f ish, t o p rotect p eople’s h ealth long-term; genomes, transcriptomes, and epigenomes of mangrove trees, epigenetic regulation in shellfish; transposable elements (TEs) in mangroves and shellfish (shrimp, oysters) genomes; Gypsy long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposon and mangrove resilience (pH and temperature); greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration (b lue c arbon) in response to climate change and human management in coastal wetlands / mangroves; the status of mangroves in Ecuador; status of mangrove f orests i n Honduras: metals and pesticides; mangrove microbiomes; antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of pathogens in mangrove sediment; endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like heavy metals, pesticides, antimicrobial herbicide glyphosate, metals chelated by glyphosate, bacterial transgene Bacillus thurigiensis , Vibrios spp. and plastics in mangrove sediment and shellfish (clams, shrimp); Shrimp Scampi: a citizens science project to examine the levels of endocrine disrupting chemicals (metals, glyphosate, bisphenol A) in frozen seafood sold at US supermarkets; microplastics and organic pollutants in mangrove sediments and marsh clam (Polymesoda expansa ) from selected coastal areas of Negros Oriental, Philippines, as i ndicators of coastal pollution, among others. A female researcher, Suhua Shi from China, will receive a recognition as ’2022 Outstanding ONE HEALTH Researchers in Aquaculture’ by the Foundation for Conservation of Biodiversity (FUCOBI) of Ecuador in recognition of her research on mangroves genomes, transcriptomes and epigenomes.
