The Malaysian Mangrove Research Alliance and Network (MyMangrove) is an inter-disciplinary core group of local and foreign researchers and scientists from universities, research institutions, government agencies, private organisations, environmental NGOs and CBOs, focusing chiefly on the ecology, conservation and management of mangroves and their connecting habitats in Malaysia.

MyMangrove promotes collaborative research work between individuals and institutions and allows for a stronger scientific cooperation to intensify knowledge and understandings, and to amplify national appreciation, awareness and sound-scientific conservation. It is aimed to be a hub or a platform for mangrove scientists and researchers to get together to develop and discuss ideas and findings, to enhance education and training on mangroves, and to collaborate in research projects, community services, consultation and policy interventions.

MyMangrove also invites and accepts participation from non-researchers comprising of advocators, conservationists, administrators, resource managers, artists, photographers or simply fans and enthusiasts of mangroves and their connecting systems, particularly on the ones occurring in Malaysia.

This is a call to construct a directory of contacts, database of network, and a mailing list for networking to discuss the science and the art of mangroves. Email will be the official mode of communication. In addition to the mailing list, Whatsapp and Facebook groups are the optional modes for interactions. All information provided will be treated with respect of privacy. Other details and information besides name, email and institution/organisation shall only be published upon individual approval and consent on MyMangrove's online and printed communications.
