Medidas de restauración del manglar hizophora mangle<(mangle rojo) en asentamientos de camaroneras en el archipiélago de jambelí

Abstract

The present work investigates the state of mangrove ecosystems in Ecuador, specifically in the province of Oro, in the Jambelí Archipelago, and the damage caused by aquaculture; its displacement and development, the effects caused by the cutting of mangroves and possible affectations to the species. The search for information and review of scientific and technical literature of various works at the global and local level, interpreted that being one of the most important ecosystems in the world has not been well standardized, socialized and fulfilled the measures that have been implemented for more than 50 years. Mangroves in Ecuador and in the province of El Oro have been devastated by approximately 40% due to shrimp farming activities. In addition, there are human populations, settlements and urbanizations that are developing more and more and their growth in this area is not favorable since this has contributed to the reduction and displacement of biodiversity in estuarine species. The implementation of measures that are considered optimal for the reduction of biodiversity loss referring to estuarine ecosystems are not well implemented and above all there are no programs that are directly focused on shrimp and mangrove cultivation, most are focused on the repopulation of conch, crabs and other species, but not on direct damage to the habitat of these, and with a direct aim to deterioration by shrimp farming and its questionable management.
