Abstract

Abstract

Mangrove loss in Mexico led to the development of different recovery programs focused on building and maintaining greenhouses, reforestation, and the construction of drainage systems along coastal roads to reestablish surface water flows. However, these recovery strategies have not been as successful as expected because they were not based on an evaluation of environmental characteristics required for mangrove development in the context of new hydrological and sedimentary conditions. The studies performed over the last ten years by the mangrove group at Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados (CINVESTAV), in collaboration with other institutions, resulted in a conceptual framework that we present here as a methodological approach for the ecological restoration of mangroves in the Yucatán Peninsula. The conceptual framework is based on the relationships among the geomorphology, hydrology, and structural and functional characteristics of mangroves that are associated with the environmental services offered by these ecosystems. The methodological approach is fundamentally concerned with the particular characteristics of the karstic environmental setting of the Yucatán Peninsula as well as social and economic aspects of restoration. This approach to mangrove restoration includes stages for planning, implementing, and monitoring mangrove restoration programs in karstic environments.

Resumen

La pérdida de manglares en México ha llevado al desarrollo de diferentes programas para abordar su recuperación. En la Península de Yucatán estos programas se han centrado principalmente en la construcción y mantenimiento de invernaderos, la reforestación y la construcción de sistemas de alcantarillas en las carreteras costeras para restablecer los flujos de las aguas superficiales. Sin embargo, estas estrategias de recuperación no tuvieron el éxito que se esperaba, principalmente porque no se basaron en la caracterización ambiental como un criterio para identificar las condiciones hidrológicas y de sedimentos necesarias para el desarrollo de manglares. Los estudios realizados durante los últimos diez años por el grupo manglares en el Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados (CINVESTAV), en colaboración con otras instituciones, han dado lugar a un marco conceptual que se presenta aquí como un enfoque metodológico para la restauración ecológica de los manglares en la Península de Yucatán. El marco conceptual se basa en las relaciones que hay entre la geomorfología, la hidrología y características estructurales y funcionales de los manglares, y que están asociados con los servicios ambientales que ofrecen estos ecosistemas. El enfoque metodológico es fundamentalmente relacionado a las características particulares del entorno kárstico de la Península de Yucatán, así como aspectos sociales y económicos de la restauración. Este enfoque de la restauración de manglares incluye las etapas de la planificación, implementación y seguimiento de los programas de restauración de manglares en ambientes kársticos.
