Wetlands are often vital physical and social components of a country’s natural capital, as well providers ecosystem services to local national communities. We performed network analysis prioritize Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets for sustainable development in iconic wetlands wetlandscapes around the world. The was based on information perceptions 45 worldwide by 49 wetland researchers Global Wetland Ecohydrological Network (GWEN). identified three 2030 Agenda high priority across...
The Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta (CGSM) is one of the world's most productive tropical wetlands and that has witnessed some greatest recorded dieback mangroves. Human-driven loss hydrologic connectivity by roads, artificial channels water flow regulation appears to be reason behind mangrove mortality in this ungauged wetland. In study, we determined CGSM's current state combining a remote sensing technique, termed as Wetland Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), with study river...
The Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta (CGSM), Colombia is possibly the wetland that has experienced largest mangrove mortality on record due to modification of hydrologic connectivity and consequent hypersaline conditions. We used hydroclimatic, salinity basal area data collected in five stations from 1993 2015 study relation between ongoing recovery, changes hydroclimatic precipitation, potential evapotranspiration freshwater inputs. found until 2015, ecosystems CGSM are general terms a path...
The development of mangrove restoration projects in the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta (CGSM), most important coastal lagoon Colombia, has demonstrated effectiveness a participatory and socio-ecological approach. success integrating scientific knowledge with traditional local communities led to positive sustainable results for recovery this ecosystem.This process was based on comprehensive diagnosis that identified main factors contributing degradation (e.g. hypersalinization, sedimentation,...
Abstract Marine debris is one of the most significant problems facing marine environment, endangering wildlife, polluting oceans and an issue which holds global significance. Plastics constitute a large proportion debris, their persistence can cause number negative consequences for biota including entanglement ingestion, lead to mortality. Most plastics never biodegrade instead break down into smaller pieces are more difficult monitor eventually become so small (micro nanoplastics), that...
Marine pollution in Colombia is caused by multiple factors, including precarious basic sanitation conditions and deficient treatment systems, which contribute to the inadequate disposal of liquid solid waste generated socioeconomic (agriculture, mining, tourism, among others) domestic activities coastal inland population. has approximately 1,932 km coastline Caribbean 1,599 Pacific. In these areas, are developed that generate plastic waste, it estimated about 65% disposed open dumps or...
The Colombian marine and coastal areas are exposed to multiple stressors as a result of anthropic activities such agriculture, mining, port tourism, among others. added this is the lack wastewater treatment basic sanitation systems in human settlements, which contributes inadequate disposal liquid solid waste, exacerbating pollution.The ecosystems Colombia have environmental importance offer ecosystem services. For reason, country developing actions protect, conserve use them sustainable...
Los vertidos de aguas residuales en los ecosistemas acuáticos son fuente microplásticos y microorganismos patógenos, que afectan la calidad ambiental representan un riesgo para biodiversidad salud humana. objetivos esta revisión fueron: (i) analizar impactos vertimientos sobre sanitaria costeras Colombia, (ii) examinar posibles riesgos ambientales las interacciones entre microorganismos–microplásticos. Durante el 2021, marco del monitoreo marino Colombia se midieron coliformes...
Acrostichum aureum is a halophytic pantropical invasive fern growing in mangroves and swamps. Its association with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) has been reported Asia. AMF their symbiosis (AM) commonly colonise the absorption organs of terrestrial plants worldwide. Fur-thermore, AMF/AM are well known for capacity to bioaccumulate toxic elements alleviate biotic abiotic stress (e.g. salinity stress) hosts. However, how in-volved halophytism A. aureum, structures where NaCl accumulates...
The Wider Caribbean Region is an important tourist destination where agricultural, industrial and shipping activities are also carried on. Coastal zones heavily populated receive a high human pressure; however, few monitoring programmes allow assessing long-term anthropogenic impact trends in these areas, which especially useful for integrated management programs. Through the support of International Atomic Energy Agency (project RLA/7/012), sediment core 210Pb 137Cs were used to evaluate...
In order to evaluate the vertical distribution of heavy metals Pb, Cd, and Zn in sediments associated Rhizophora mangle plants, potentially bioavailable not concentrations these were determined three sediment cores collected Sevilla River, Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta. Measurements carried out by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry. The results showed that River mangrove ecosystem are accumulated principally non-bioavailable forms, this means a great part or them...
The concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons equivalent chrysene (HP) and 16 polycyclic aromatic (PAHs) were determined in mangrove sediments the Mira river estuary, Pacific coast Colombia, two years after spill 410000 gallons crude oil, produced by attacks on Trans-Andean oil pipeline that occurred June 2015. Sediments collected nine sampling stations distributed areas Coba, Bocagrande, Mira, Terán, Congal Chontal. HP analyzed using fluorescence spectrometry, PAHs gas chromatography coupled...
The Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta (CGSM) is the largest coastal lagoon in Colombian Caribbean. Declared Biosphere Reserve and Ramsar Site, it a strategic ecosystem for conservation of global biodiversity. However, also considered an environmentally disturbed area due to natural anthropogenic threats which increase pollution affect ecosystem’s environmental quality. With purpose having information that contributes assessment management CGSM, land-based sources pollutions complex were...
