Desk Study · A Review of Mangrove Biodiversity Conservation and Management	Field Testing A more practical form of consultation was attempted directly with mangrove users in two selected provinces of northern Vietnam. This process, termed “field testing” was based on using a simplified version of the mangrove Principles which was translated into Vietnamese, plus a questionnaire for local mangrove users and managers, supported by field visits to target communes by the local consultant team (Angus McEwin and staff from MERD, Hanoi National University). The field testing encountered a number of organisational problems, but generated valuable feedback and some very important lessons learned.
