Mangrove conservation efforts in Thailand

Mangrove Conservation Efforts In Thailand

MGI Tech Co., Ltd. (“MGI”), a company dedicated to developing key tools and technologies that drive innovation in the life sciences, has partnered with the National Omics Center (NOC) under the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) to leverage advanced assay technology sequence for mangrove conservation research. The joint efforts aim to address the environmental challenges facing mangroves, which play a critical role in coastal defense and the livelihoods of local communities.

For centuries, mangroves have served as coastal guardians of nature, acting as protective and vital barriers against erosion and storms, while providing a refuge for marine species. These ecosystems are vital to the fishing industry, which contributes significantly to the country’s economy. However, over the past 50 years, more than 60% of Thailand’s mangroves have been lost due to deforestation and urban development. With their disappearance comes increased vulnerability to environmental change, making conservation efforts increasingly pressing.

“Our mangroves stood by us,” thought a local fisherman. “They protect us from the waves and give young fish and crabs a place to grow. Without them, our way of life would be at risk.”

A genetic lens for mangrove conservation

Understanding the genetic diversity of mangroves is essential for developing effective conservation strategies. Genetic data reveals how species are adapting to challenges such as sea-level rise, changes in salinity and habitat loss. The MGI sequencer DNBSEQ-G400RS enables the precise assessment of such diversity for the first time, allowing researchers to delve into this genetic complexity with unprecedented precision, making significant progress in conservation strategies.

Dr. Jeremy Shearman, Senior Researcher at NOCemphasized the value of this approach. “Mangroves are essential to coastal areas and estuaries. They offer protection from erosion from surf and storm damage, creating nurseries for young marine life that replenish ocean stocks. Understanding genetic diversity helps us preserve these precious ecosystems.”

He further explained, “The main purpose of the research was conservation. We wanted to identify the species present, sequence their genomes to create reference databases, and use restriction enzyme sequencing to measure genetic diversity among mangrove populations across Thailand.”

How MGI Tech Empowers the Initiative

At the heart of this initiative is MGI’s cutting-edge technology. MGI’s proprietary DNBSEQ™ sequencing technology supports restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq), which is critical to building a comprehensive reference genome database and assessing the genetic diversity of these critical ecosystems. The RAD-seq method efficiently identifies genetic markers, critical for constructing reference genomes and understanding genetic diversity among mangrove populations. This insight is fundamental to formulating effective conservation strategies targeting these vital ecosystems.

Dr. Wirulda Pootakham, Director of NOCremarked, “Creating a reference genome database for 15 mangrove species in Thailand allows us to assess genetic diversity more precisely using DNA data. This is vital for prioritizing conservation efforts.”

The accuracy of MGI’s sequencing technology is transformative. “MGI’s platform provides high-quality data that reduces uncertainties in our research and allows us to focus on achieving effective outcomes for biodiversity,” shared Ms. Sonicha U-thoomporn, Research Assistant at NOC.

“Our innovative sequencing process offers unparalleled accuracy and efficiency, which are critical for biodiversity research, analysis and conservation,” added Mr. Nitinai Sising, MGI Sales Manager, Thailand.

Beyond RAD-seq, MGI-triggered RNA sequencing further enhances this research by revealing gene expression and adaptive mechanisms of mangroves in high sodium environments. Together, these techniques offer a comprehensive view of mangrove biodiversity, resilience and adaptability.

A Vision for the Future

MGI’s contributions to mangrove conservation have already made waves. This research not only highlights the genetic nuances of mangrove species, but also supports broader conservation initiatives across Southeast Asia. The genetic knowledge gathered through this initiative informs policies and practices to protect and restore mangrove forests, ensuring that these ecosystems continue to benefit coastal communities and the country’s economy.

This project also fits into a larger vision. MGI’s commitment to sustainability extends to other projects, as evidenced by its collaboration with Indonesia’s National Agency for Research and Innovation on Seaweed Biodiversity. These collaborations highlight how genomics can address ecological challenges across Southeast Asia and beyond.

As Thailand’s mangroves tell a story of resilience and recovery, the collaboration between NOC and MGI provides an exciting example of how science and technology can protect nature’s treasures. This case study highlights MGI’s central role in advancing Thailand’s mangrove conservation efforts by providing a blueprint for using genomic innovation to conserve biodiversity and support ecosystem resilience for future generations.

“We are proud to support important scientific initiatives in Thailand that strengthen local ecosystem conservation efforts and improve the lives of community members. Our commitment is to leverage cutting-edge life science tools to advance global sustainable development and environmental protection initiatives. Addressing pressing challenges, we aim to provide innovative and sustainable solutions that benefit both humanity and the ecosystem,” noted Duncan Yu, President of MGI.
