“…From an economic point of view, they are important for the development of mariculture and their contribution to habitat for fisheries [49]. Additionally, they are used for the development of beekeeping [50], traditional medicine [51] and fishing for subsistence [30].…”

“…Studies on mangroves in Cuba have been approached from different perspectives. These include general ecological aspects [24][25][26], floristic composition [27], primary production and associated processes [28,29], health status assessments [30][31][32][33][34], relative resilience studies of the ecosystem [35,36], ecological restoration as part of forest management actions within protected areas prevail [37][38][39][40], among others. However, there is a gap in the scientific literature about the role of mangroves as a carbon reservoir in Cuba. For the Cuban government, mangrove conservation is important for the sustainability of coastal communities, as they constitute a natural barrier of protection for the coastal population and a breeding space for numerous marine species [23,41].…”

Carbon stored in mangroves is valuable for climate change mitigation. Managing the carbon stored in the mangrove requires an adequate legal framework and an environmental policy. In Cuba, there is little research on the capacity of mangroves to retain carbon and its articulation in environmental policy and management. In the present study, the following research question is raised: Is there a favorable context in the environmental policy to manage the mangrove as a carbon reservoir in Cuba? The aim of this research is to identify aspects of environmental policy, legal and administrative frameworks related to managing mangroves as a carbon sink in Cuba. The qualitative method of social research, the content analysis technique, and the modified Ibero-American Network for Integrated Coastal Management (IBERMAR) decalogue were used to compile, understand, and discuss the potential for effective management of mangroves for carbon storage. One hundred and twenty-one articles published in WOS and Scopus databases between 2019 and 2022, as well as books and material reviewed on the official websites, were checked. Present policy in Cuba manages mangroves for coastal protection and other ecosystem services but lacks a developed plan for considering the role of this marine forest system as a carbon sink. Managing mangroves as a carbon reservoir will require vigorous efforts to measure and monitor the system. It is necessary to build a robust national political agenda and strengthen institutional and regulatory capacities. This research provides a systematization of environmental policy as a baseline for the management of carbon reservoirs in mangroves in Cuba.

Determinar las características y comportamientos diferenciados de los procesos de ocupación del suelo y consolidación urbana en frentes de playa, resulta un antecedente necesario a la concepción de acciones de intervención y ordenamiento territorial en espacios litorales. El presente artículo, tiene como objetivo caracterizar las tipologías de frentes de playa asumidas: 1) frente de playa urbano; 2) frente de playa de asentamiento y 3) frente de playa asociado a complejo turístico. Para ello se estructuró un procedimiento de caracterización a partir de 16 variables de análisis agrupadas en 4 categorías, que permiten identificar las similitudes y divergencias que manifiestan los componentes del medio físico construido en cada tipología. El procedimiento fue validado en tres frentes de playas del municipio Guamá de la provincia Santiago de Cuba, Cuba. La principal conclusión indica que las variables de mayor diferenciación entre las tipologías identificadas son los relacionados con la categoría Estructuración Funcional.

“…In 2019, 11,238,000 people lived in Cuba [16,17]. Guama coastal municipality is in the province most vulnerable to hydrometeorological events, such as hurricanes and SLR [52,53,[58][59][60][61]. The Cuban study region extends to the north with the state of Gramma, and to the south with the Caribbean Sea [62].…”

This paper presents a coastal migration index (CMI) useful for decision-making in the current scenario of sea-level rise (SLR) due to climate change. The CMI includes coastal human population density, degree of urbanization, and coastal-flooding penetration. Quantitative and qualitative statistical techniques and the geographic information system ArcGIS View 9.0 were used. Further, a panel of fifteen international experts in coastal management issues was consulted to establish and validate the CMI. Results led to three index components based on 22 indicators. CMI was applied in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico and in Santiago de Cuba province, Cuba. According to CMI estimates, the risk levels associated with SLR for human settlements analyzed in Mexico and Cuba were 5.3% and 11.0%, respectively. The most severely affected communities will require resettlement. Meanwhile, the CMI determined that 15.8% of the Mexican territory studied will be able to withstand the effects of SLR through the management of engineering works that will protect human settlements. The CMI determined that 79.0%, in the case of Tamaulipas, as well as 89.0% of the Cuban territory, will not require new policies or guidelines to promote conservation and protection of coastal natural resources. Lastly, the method used allowed for creation of a CMI stoplight map useful to coastal decision-makers to adopt sound management actions.
