Capacity building and increased financing for long term monitoring programmes for coral reefs in the Turks and Caicos Islands
Fortalecimiento de la capacidad de financiamiento para programas de monitoreo a largo plazo de arrecifes de coral en las Islas Turcas y CaicosBrief Description:The project is aimed to provide sufficient knowledge to develop effective monitoring programmes and improve communication for strengthening management of coral reefs. It will also promote the application of sound scientific findings to guide decision making and investment in natural resource management using the Princess Alexandra Land and Sea National Park as a pilot site. A review of long-term revenue streams for monitoring along with the knowledge from the training course will serve to develop indicators that demonstrate the environmental “return on investment” in nature management. These products will be used to define the necessary steps for the long-term implementation of the monitoring programme and protocol in the pilot site, and scaling up long-term monitoring efforts in the TCI. This is a Best 2 Initiative project.El proyecto tiene como objetivo proporcionar conocimientos para desarrollar programas de monitoreo efectivos y mejorar la comunicación para fortalecer la gestión de los arrecifes de coral. También promoverá la aplicación de hallazgos científicos sólidos para guiar la toma de decisiones y la inversión en el manejo de recursos naturales utilizando el Parque Nacional Princess Alexandra Land and Sea como un sitio piloto. Una revisión de los flujos de ingresos a largo plazo para el monitoreo junto con el conocimiento del curso de capacitación servirá para desarrollar indicadores que demuestren el “retorno de la inversión” ambiental en la gestión de la naturaleza. Estos productos se utilizarán para definir los pasos necesarios para la implementación a largo plazo del programa y el protocolo de monitoreo en el sitio piloto y para ampliar los esfuerzos de monitoreo a largo plazo en las TCI.

RESCQ Restoration of Ecosystem Services and Coral Reef Quality
Restauración de los servicios ecosistemicos y la calidad de los arrecifes de coralBrief Description:The project will restore Elkhorn (Acropora palmata) and Staghorn (A. cervicornis) coral reef zones by establishing a coral nursery on each of the four islands to grow coral fragment and transplantation at selected restoration sites. Genotyping and monitoring of the resilience of coral fragments will be used to maintain genetic diversity within the restored colonies and ensure that the most resilient fragments are transplanted to the restoration sites. Establishing multiple small, genetically diverse populations that will, in time, become sexually reproductive can contribute to species recovery, especially in areas of significant parent population declines. A practical manual for coral reef restoration will be developed to enable the approach to be replicated throughout the region. The project will work to ensure that the nursery facilitates established on each of the islands are self-sufficient and thus able to continue the work started by the project. This is a BEST 2 initiative project.El proyecto restaurará las zonas de arrecifes de coral cuerno de alce (Acropora palmata) y cuerno de ciervo (A. cervicornis) mediante el establecimiento de un vivero de coral en cada una de las cuatro islas para hacer crecer fragmentos de coral y trasplantarlas a los sitios de restauración seleccionados. Se utilizará el genotipo y el monitoreo de la resiliencia de los fragmentos de coral para mantener la diversidad genética dentro de las colonias restauradas y garantizar que los fragmentos más resilientes se trasplanten a los sitios de restauración. El establecimiento de múltiples poblaciones pequeñas, genéticamente diversas que, con el tiempo, se volverán sexualmente reproductivas puede contribuir a la recuperación de las especies, especialmente en áreas de disminución significativa de la población de padres. Se desarrollará un manual práctico para la restauración de los arrecifes de coral que permita replicar el enfoque en toda la región. El proyecto trabajará para garantizar que las instalaciones de vivero establecidas en cada una de las islas sean autosuficientes y, por lo tanto, puedan continuar el trabajo iniciado por el proyecto.

Marine Park Aruba
Parque Marino de ArubaBrief Description:The project established a multi-use marine park for Aruba by enacting the necessary legislation for its creation and put in place the structures for its long-term management by setting-up a management organisation and developing a management plan with stakeholder input to promote nondestructive activities. The park will encompass four Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs): Parke Nacional Arikok; Spaans Lagoen (Spanish Lagoon) and Sero Colorado and Mangel Halto – Isla di Oro. A management plan for each of these KBAs will be developed to guide the maintenance and restoration of their ecosystems, biological diversity and ecological processes along with climate adaptation project plans. A communications plan to build awareness and, most importantly, ownership of the KBAs will form a crucial part of the management and project plans. This is a BEST 2 initiative project.El proyecto estableció un parque marino de usos múltiples para Aruba mediante la promulgación de la legislación necesaria para su creación y puso en marcha las estructuras para su gestión a largo plazo mediante el establecimiento de una organización de gestión y el desarrollo de un plan de gestión con aportes de las partes interesadas para promover actividades no destructivas. . El parque abarcará cuatro Áreas Clave de Biodiversidad (ACB): Parke Nacional Arikok; Spaans Lagoen (Laguna Española) y Sero Colorado y Mangel Halto - Isla di Oro. Se desarrollará un plan de gestión para cada una de estas ACB para guiar el mantenimiento y restauración de sus ecosistemas, diversidad biológica y procesos ecológicos junto con planes de proyectos de adaptación climática. Un plan de comunicaciones para crear conciencia y, lo que es más importante, la propiedad de las ACB formará una parte crucial de los planes de gestión y del proyecto.

Reduction of vulnerability to coastal flooding through ecosystem-based adaptation in the south of Artemisa and Mayabeque provinces
Reducción de la vulnerabilidad a las inundaciones costeras mediante la adaptación basada en ecosistemas en el sur de las provincias de Artemisa y MayabequeBrief Description:The project will rely on a combination of natural regeneration and artificial regeneration (planting) to achieve the recovery of structure, function and ecosystem services in mangroves and other associated coastal ecosystems along the 84 km long stretch of coastline between Punta Sucia and Punta Mora. This is an area particularly sensible to saline intrusion into its subterranean aquifers, which are vital for the irrigation of the coastal plains, which are some of the most productive agricultural in the country, and as a source of drinking water for the city of Havana. the mangroves of the area also have some of the lowest health indices in the western region of the country.El proyecto se basa en una combinación de regeneración natural y regeneración artificial (plantación) para lograr la recuperación de la estructura, función y servicios ecosistémicos en los manglares y otros ecosistemas costeros asociados a lo largo del tramo costero de 84 km de longitud entre Punta Sucia y Punta Mora. Se trata de una zona especialmente sensible a la intrusión salina en sus acuíferos subterráneos, vitales para el riego de los llanos costeros, unos de los agrícolas más productivos del país, y como fuente de agua potable para la ciudad de La Habana. los manglares de la zona también tienen algunos de los índices de salud más bajos de la región occidental del país.Lead Organization: CITMA-MINAGRIDonor: Adaptation FundProject ID: CUB/MIE/Coastal/2012/1/Geographic Scope: NationalProject Status: OngoingLast Update: 07/01/2021

MANG Giving impetus to a collective movement in favour of the preservation of coastal wetlands in EU overseas territories
Impulsar un movimiento colectivo a favor de la conservación de los humedales costeros en los territorios de ultramar de la UEBrief Description:The project attempted to addresses the associated shortage of management methods and tools needed to improve coastal wetland conservation, and thus positively impacted all the wetlands in the European ORs (Outermost Regions) and OCTs (Overseas Countries and Territories). These objectives will be achieved through four activities: 1. establishing and promoting a method for site assessment; 2. specifying a participatory and transversal method for coastal wetland management; 3. promoting the adoption of the method; and 4. getting public and private stakeholders involved. The project developed a site assessment method, and communicate it to the stakeholders involved in management and conservation, defined a participative methodology for managing wetlands, communicated these working methodologies to all wetland managers, and facilitate their adoption, and involved the various target groups concerned for better conservation of wetlands. It was developed undet ther BEST 2 (Voluntary scheme for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in Territories of European Overseas) Initiative.El proyecto intento abordar la escasez asociada de métodos y herramientas de gestión necesarios para mejorar la conservación de los humedales costeros y, por lo tanto, impactarndo positivamente en todos los humedales de las RUP europeas (regiones ultraperiféricas) y PTU (países y territorios de ultramar). Estos objetivos se lograron a través de cuatro actividades: 1. establecer y promover un método para la evaluación del sitio; 2. especificar un método participativo y transversal para el manejo de los humedales costeros; 3. promover la adopción del método; y 4. involucrar a las partes interesadas públicas y privadas. El proyecto desarrolló un método de evaluación de sitios y lo comunicó a las partes interesadas involucradas en el manejo y la conservación, definió una metodología participativa para el manejo de los humedales, comunicó estas metodologías de trabajo a todos los administradores de humedales y facilitó su adopción, e involucró a los diversos grupos objetivo interesados en mejor conservación de los humedales.
