Evaluación de la efectividad de manejo de la concesión de manglar del estero El Chorrillo - Las Garzas de la cooperativa Puerto Grande - El Oro

Abstract

Abstract: Through the present Title End Work, it is sought to know the level of management of the mangrove concession by Cooperative Puerto Grande, to know the weak points and in this way to propose alternatives for a More effective management of the area. In addition, a multitemporal analysis was carried out to know the changes in the vegetal cover. In order to carry out the Management Effectiveness Assessment, the Hockings framework and the Rapid Assessment and Management of Protected Areas (RAPPAM) methodology of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) were used as the basis. The results obtained in the Management Effectiveness Assessment show that the concession area has a percentage of management effectiveness of 62% which indicates that it is within a satisfactory management (51-75%). The multitemporal analysis indicates that in the period 1990-2000 there was loss of mangrove, and a slight recovery in the period 2008-2014, but mainly significant mangrove loss occurred in the period 2000-2008, that is, before the Cooperative receives the area.
