Contributions to the consolidation of a regional process for the conservation of coral reefs: trials for the standardization of methodologies for the repopulation of endangered species of the genus <em>Acropora<em> in three National Parks in Caribbean Colombia
A relatively high percentage of Colombia's coral reefs are in protected areas, but despite the administrative form of protection, overall condition is not ideal. Consequently, the possibility of restoration actions is currently a developing trend that attracts researchers and the general public. For its part, the National Parks of Colombia in fulfilling its mission, integrates management of the issue of restoration to the Park conservation processes of Tayrona, Corales del Rosario and Old Providence protected areas. As part of strategies to improve the status of coral reefs, repopulation assays are performed by using coral nurseries proposed by national and international researchers, in order to evaluate its viability as a management strategy method. Below we present advances in all three protected areas, and an analysis of how to take the process to be sustainable in the long term.
Abstract (es):
Un porcentaje relativamente alto de los arrecifes coralinos de Colombia se encuentran en áreas protegidas, pero a pesar de la figura administrativa de protección su condición general no es la ideal. En consecuencia, la posibilidad de realizar acciones de restauración es actualmente una tendencia en desarrollo que atrae a investigadores y al público en general. Por su parte Parques Nacionales Naturales de Colombia (PNNC), en cumplimiento de su misión, integra a la gestión de manejo de las áreas protegidas el tema de restauración, articulado a los procesos de conservación de los Parques Tayrona, Old Providence y Corales del Rosario. Como parte de las estrategias para mejorar el estado de los arrecifes coralinos, se realizan ensayos de repoblamiento a través de guarderías de coral, utilizando métodos propuestos por investigadores nacionales e internacionales, con el fin de evaluar su viabilidad como estrategia de manejo. A continuación se presentan los avances en las tres áreas protegidas y un análisis de cómo asumir el proceso para que sea sostenible en el largo plazo.
