Integrated analysis of the arroyo inglés mouth - industrial zone section in Cienfuegos: Coastal management challenges
Main Article Content
Abstract
Was analyzed the interaction between biophysical processes and human activities in the section between the mouth of Arroyo Inglés and the Industrial Zone of Cienfuegos Bay. The methodology included a literature review, direct observation, and descriptive analysis to identify key components, main stakeholders, and environmental issues. The results highlighted the presence of degraded mangroves and pollution from industrial and urban waste as the main environmental conflicts. Additionally, conflicts over resource use between fishing communities and industrial activities were identified. The study concluded that implementing integrated management strategies based on Integrated Coastal Marine Zone, ecological restoration, and active participation of local stakeholders is essential for ecosystem sustainability and community well-being. This work provides an interdisciplinary approach to coastal zone management in contexts of high anthropogenic pressure.
