    Manejo de recursos costeros y marinos para las Islas Galapagos
    (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1984-10) Broadus, James M. ; Pires, Ivon A. ; Gaines, Arthur G. ; Bailey, Connor ; Knecht, Robert W. ; Cicin-Sain, Biliana
    Este informe describe brevemente los usos y problemas de los recursos costeros y marinos en Galapagos, discute los principios generales del manejo de la zona costera y de los recursos marinos, examina la situaci6n actual del manejo de estos recursos en Galapagos, y ofrece observaciones sobre posibles medidas para su mejoramiento. El archipielago ha sido por largo tiempo el objeto de interes cientffico mundial. La creciente demanda sobre los recursos costeros y marinos de las Galapagos, para servir a su poblaci6n en aumento y al turismo, potencialmente lucrativo, da la pauta sobre la necesidad de prestar mayor atenci6n al manejo de estos recursos. Los asuntos y problemas costeros y marinos en Galapagos que pueden ser tratados en un proceso de manejo incluyen: conservaci6n de la biota y los habitats excepcionales de las islas; turismo; desarrollo de areas portuarias; eliminacion de desperdicios; extraccion de recursos; y pesca. Los elementos basicos de un sistema de manejo de zona costera y de recursos marinas existen actualmente en Galapagos, pero tienen un funcionamiento ad hoc y no coordinado. Se describen actuales y posibles ambigliedades o conflictos entre la Marina/Capitanfas de Puerto, las municipalidades, el Parque Nacional, la entidad de desarrollo para Galapagos (INGALA), y otras dependiancias. Se propane un sistema de manejo de dos zonas para los recursos costeros y marinos. Este sistema evita el establecimiento de nuevas sistemas de linderos y instituciones, adaptandose en cambio a la situaci6n actual. Cuatro mecanismos potenciales se identifican: un enfoque de cooperacion administrativa; un consejo de zona costera y recursos marinos; una serie de convenios entre las instituciones representativas; y la aplicaci6n de incentivos. Se discute la posibilidad de la creacion de una area marina protegida, incluyendo razones fundamentales para su establecimiento, su designacion y organizacion, jurisdicciones, linderos y zonificacion, y protecci6n de usos tradicionales.

    The management of ocean and coastal resources in Colombia : an assessment
    (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1984-06) Knecht, Robert W. ; Cicin-Sain, Biliana ; Broadus, James M. ; Silva, Maynard E. ; Bowen, Robert E. ; Marcus, Henry S. ; Peterson, Susan B.
    This report summarizes the results of an 18-month study of coastal and marine resources development in Colombia. The study was a result of a request by the Direccion General Maritima y Portuaria (DIMAR) of the Colombian Navy to the Marine Policy and Ocean Management Center of WHOI and was carried out jointly with that group. Observations of the present situation and potential for four sectors are presented--fisheries and aquaculture, marine minerals and energy, marine transportation and ports, and tourism and coastal development. The coastal tourism and fisheries sectors appear to be the most promising in terms of near-term potential. Suggestions for achieving increased economic and social benefits from these sectors are provided. In addition, institutional arrangements among the ocean-related agencies in Colombia are reviewed and recommendations aimed at achieving a higher degree of policy integration are offered.

    Coastal and marine resources management for the Galapagos Islands
    (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1984-10) Broadus, James M. ; Pires, Ivon A. ; Gaines, Arthur G. ; Bailey, Connor ; Knecht, Robert W. ; Cicin-Sain, Biliana
    The report briefly describes coastal and marine resource uses and problems in Ecuador's Galapagos Islands, discusses general principles of coastal zone management (CZM) and marine resources management (MRM), examines the current status of CZM and MRM in the Galapagos Islands, and offers observations on possible avenues for improvement. The archipelago has long been the object of worldwide scientific interest. Increased demands on its coastal and marine resources, to serve a growing resident population and to accommodate potentially lucrative tourism, signal a need for greater attention to the management of these resources. Coastal and marine affairs and problems in the Galapagos which can be addressed by a CZM/MRM process include: conservation of the Islands' unique biota and habitats; tourism; port development; waste disposal; resource extraction; and fisheries. The basic elements of a CZM and MRM system are already in place in the Galapagos, but they are uncoordinated and largely ad hoc in nature. Existing and potential jurisdictional ambiguities or conflicts between the Navy/Port Captaincies, the municipalities, the National Park, the development agency for the Galapagos (INGALA) and other organizations are described. A two-zone management scheme for coastal and marine resources is outlined. It avoids the establishment of complicated new systems of boundaries and institutions, instead adapting itself to the existing situation. Four possible mechanisms for improved coordination are identified: cooperative management; a coastal zone and marine resources council; a series of agreements ("convenios") between relevant agencies; and application of incentives. The possible creation of a marine protected area is discussed, including rationale for the area's establishment, its designation and organization, jurisdictions, boundaries and zoning, and the protection of traditional uses.
