Cambio Global y las lagunas costeras

Coastal zones and lagoons play a key role in Earth System functioning
Provide a significant contribution to the life support systems of most societies.
Goods and services derived from coastal systems depend strongly on multiple trans-boundary interactions with the land, atmosphere, open ocean and sea bottom.
Human habitation, food production, growing tourism and transportation accelerate the exploitation of the coastal landscape and resources.
Coastal lagoons and Earth System Science
![Page 5: Curso de Lagunas Costeras Alice Newton Universidad de Algarve, Portugal Universidad EAFIT, Abril 8-23, 2008.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cf55503460f949c35e6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Global change and coastal lagoons
~ Changes in ecosystem function and biodiversity
~ Changes in biogeochemical cycles~ Changes in sea level and morphological
modifications~ Changes in sediment supply and erosion~ Changes in population, urbanization and
tourism~ Changes in use of lagoons: salt and fisheries,
aquaculture~ Changes in economy and ecosystem services
![Page 6: Curso de Lagunas Costeras Alice Newton Universidad de Algarve, Portugal Universidad EAFIT, Abril 8-23, 2008.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cf55503460f949c35e6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Coastal lagoons are fragile due to direct water draining form highly inhabited areas, their shallowness and low water volume to surface ratio.
As a consequence there is a high probability that among marine ecosystems coastal lagoons will be the first to react to consequences of changes in climatic trends
(Esenreich, 2005).

Vulnerable and valuable ecosystems
Lagoons are valuable ecosystems, provide valuable ecosystem services and support valuable activities such as tourism, aquaculture and fisheries.
Lagoons throughout the latitudes are subject to multiple pressures
![Page 13: Curso de Lagunas Costeras Alice Newton Universidad de Algarve, Portugal Universidad EAFIT, Abril 8-23, 2008.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cf55503460f949c35e6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Lagoons are very vulnerable to global, natural and societal changes
In particular:~ Erosion-deposition~ Sea-level change~ Changes in the water and
biogeochemical cycles~ Human settlement and exploitation
of natural resources
![Page 14: Curso de Lagunas Costeras Alice Newton Universidad de Algarve, Portugal Universidad EAFIT, Abril 8-23, 2008.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cf55503460f949c35e6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Coastal lagoons are vulnerable systems
•High population density (>60/km2) •High cropland use (>10%)

Santa Marta:
~ Industrial and port development “full speed ahead”
~ Tourist and golf resorts
~ Aquaculture and mineral extraction
~ Eco-tourism paradise, no development

21stC Prognosis for coastal lagoons?~ Coastal lagoons are ephemeral, dynamic
systems on a geological time-scale Consequences of climate change and sea-level rise? ~ We will loose some coastal lagoons, some very
soon, e.g. Chesil fleet in the UK~ New coastal lagoons will form in flooded coastal
plains~ Furthermore, what are the consequences of
changes in the biogeochemical cycles ?~ Increased urbanization of the coastal zone?
![Page 35: Curso de Lagunas Costeras Alice Newton Universidad de Algarve, Portugal Universidad EAFIT, Abril 8-23, 2008.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cf55503460f949c35e6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Scenarios (consider main economical activities and DPSIR scheme):• Extension of clam farming areas• Simulation with different initial clam densities• Simulation with different seeding levels• Simulation with and without macroalgae • Natural variability/Climatic changes (wet/normal/dry years)• Human activities in the watershed (variation of nutrient loads: lower/normal/higher )
Scenarios developed together with the regional authorities eg Sacca di Goro, Ferrara Province, Italy
![Page 36: Curso de Lagunas Costeras Alice Newton Universidad de Algarve, Portugal Universidad EAFIT, Abril 8-23, 2008.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cf55503460f949c35e6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Scenario 1 : Areas of priority - identification of sub-areas of the basin where the highest effect of management intervention is obtained in terms of N-load reduction to coastal waters.
Scenario 2: A targeted 35% reduction in nitrate loads by means of implementing the national program, Environmentally Sound Agricultural Production'( MVJ) (7000 ha), catch crops (5000 ha), reduced discharge from pump drained areas, restored wetlands (4000 ha).
Scenario 3: A targeted 50 % reduction in nitrate loads by means of all scenario 2 elements and an additional reduction in animal stock (29.000 animal units) in selected areas of the basin.

From science to management and back to science
~ Science, i.e. ecological status, biogeochemical cycles and fluxes, climate change, etc.
~ Science for management, e.g. assessing environmental flows, sustainable yields, etc.
~ Science of management, e.g. modeling human impacts and land uses, resource optimisation
~ Management based on science, e.g. wetland restoration, lagoon sustainability,
~ Managing competing demands of society – policy and politics
Goal: integrating science in management
![Page 38: Curso de Lagunas Costeras Alice Newton Universidad de Algarve, Portugal Universidad EAFIT, Abril 8-23, 2008.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cf55503460f949c35e6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The sustainability challenge
GEOMORPHIC SUSTAINABILTY(relative sea level rise, sediment deficit)
ECOLOGICAL SUSTAINABILITY(pollution, fragmentation, global warming)
SOCIOECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY(overexploitation, land uses, policy)
Goal : integrating the three levels of sustainability
