1 Conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity from the integrated watershed and coastal areas management approach in Cuba Inception Workshop Kingston, Jamaica September 20-22, 2016 CEAC

2 Objetive The project aims to contribute to the sustainability of Cuban biodiversity from the integrated management of watershed and coastal areas, in a climate and socio-economic changing scenario.

3 Innovation Monitoring system Policies and capabilities Knowledge management C1. Development and implementation of environmental management instruments for biodiversity conservation including the impacts of climate change. C2. Monitoring and evaluation of the problems that need to be addressed through integrated watershed and coastal area management in the eastern, central and western regions of Cuba handling. C3. Strengthening the regulatory and institutional legal framework for integrated watershed and coastal areas as support for biodiversity conservation management in Cuba. C4. Capacity building, information management, dissemination and replication.

4 119,2 km 2 Demostratives areas 978,5 km km 2 141,7 km ha to be reforest

5 C1. Development and implementation of environmental management instruments for biodiversity conservation including the impacts of climate change. Land use master plan for each river basin. Guanabo watershed: Environmental sanitation solution for the control of pollution by untreated domestic sewage in a community demonstration areas. Arimao watershed: State and private forestry farms implement program for sustainable management of biodiversity. Agabama watershed: Restoration and rehabilitation of the vegetation of the coastal ecosystem Agabama- Ancón. San Juan watershed: Environmental sanitation solution for the control of soil pollution derived from agricultural production and industrial. Reduction of CO2 emissions through the intensive cultivation of algae as a source of biomass and through reforestation with CO2 fixing plants.

6 C2. Monitoring and evaluation of the problems that need to be addressed through integrated watershed and coastal area management in the eastern, central and western regions of Cuba handling. Environmental base line of watersheds and coastal areas of the demonstration sites Establishment of progress indicators of the solutions given and monitoring indicators (biological and physicchemical) reduction of stress on ecosystems. Assessment of the established indicators. Assessment of functional responses of ecosystems to natural and anthropogenic disturbances (on the basis of modeling and monitoring) Modeling of the main environmental risks of climate change (flooding, wave storm, beach erosion).

7 C3. Strengthening the regulatory and institutional legal framework for integrated watershed and coastal areas as support for biodiversity conservation management in Cuba. Improvement of the regulatory framework for the ICZM. Strengthening coordination and inter-agency cooperation for the implementation of ICZM in the conservation and use of BD. Procedures for resolving interagency and inter jurisdictional conflicts.

8 C4. Capacity building, information management, dissemination and replication. Implementation of RIWECO knowledge network Strengthening the ICZM Master and training of professionals in ICZM. Diploma in management of BD Short courses, workshops, national and international events

9 Synergies with other projects IAEA Regional Project RLA 7020 Establishing the Caribbean Observing Network for ocean acidification and its impacts on Harmful Algal Blooms, using nuclear and isotopic techniques. Cuban National Climate Change Program - Circulation, Connectivity and Climate Change. Cuban National Environment Protection Program Sedimentation and water quality in Hanabanilla dam.

10 Progress The methodology for environmental management plan of watersheds and coastal areas has been defined. The indicators to be used in environmental monitoring programs are identified. National reference terms have been revisited and resubmitted.
