Valoración Económica del Manglar por el Almacenamiento de Carbono, Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta

La Cienaga Grande de Santa Marta (CGSM) genera diferentes bienes y servicios ambientales, por ejemplo, sumidero de carbono, habitat de flora y fauna, despensa de alimentos y materias primas, entre otros. Se presenta una aproximacion a la cuantificacion monetaria del servicio de almacenamiento de carbono, con el fin de establecer informacion base para las decisiones de su uso. Lo anterior se hizo con base en muestreo de campo de 15 arboles de manglar y en mediciones realizadas en cuatro estaciones de monitoreo de la CGSM (Cano Grande, Rinconada, Aguas Negras y Luna) por INVEMAR (2008). Para tal fin, se estimo la biomasa aerea total, las existencias de carbono y de dioxido de carbono equivalente (CO2e) discriminada por especie y zona. Los resultados indican que en terminos relativos el bosque de manglar de la CGSM puede almacenar entre 6,9 (la Luna) y 45,7 (Rinconada) t C ha-1. La valoracion monetaria se encuentran entre US$ 87,76 y 591,41 t CO2e ha-1, segun los precios pagados por el Banco Mundial, correspondiente a los Certificados de Emisiones Reducidas (CERs) forestales no permanentes. El valor monetario amplia la importancia de iniciar un proceso que permita incorporar estos beneficios economicos a los actuales mecanismos de mercado y contribuyan a los esfuerzos locales de conservacion. ******The Cienaga Grande de Santa Marta (CGSM) Generate Different Environmental goods and services, for instance, carbon sink, habitat for flora and fauna, stocks of foods and raw materials, etc. This paper presents an attempt to value in monetary terms the service of carbon storage, with the aim to establish inputs for the decisions process of used. This paper presents an Attempt to Terms Monetary value in the service of carbon storage, with the AIM to ESTABLISH Decisions inputs for the process of used. The previous thing was done with base in field sampling of 15 trees of mangrove and in measurements realized in four stations of monitoring of the CGSM (Cano Grande, Rinconada, Aguas Negras y Luna) by INVEMAR (2008). The previous thing WAS done with basis in field sampling of 15 trees of mangrove and in Measurements made on-four stations of monitoring of the CGSM (Cano Grande, Rinconada, Aguas Negras and Moon) by INVEMAR (2008). For such aim, the estimates of total aerial biomass, the existence of carbon and the CO 2 e (equivalent carbon dioxide) were accounted by species and zone in the CGSM. For Such aim, the Estimates of total aerial biomass, the carbon and the Existence of CO 2 e (carbon dioxide equivalent) Were account by species and zone in the CGSM. The results showed that in relative terms the forests of mangrove of the CGSM could store between 6.9 at Luna and 45.7 in Rinconada of t C has- 1 . That results in the relative Eichmann Terms of the mangrove forests of the CGSM Could store at Luna entre 6.9 and 45.7 t C in Rinconada of you-1. The monetary valuation is between US$ 591.41 and 87.76 of t CO 2 e ha-1, according to the prices paid by non permanent forestry CERs paid by the World Bank. The Monetary Valuation is entre U.S. $ 591.41 and 87.76 of t CO 2 e ha-1, According To the Price Paid by Paid non permanent forestry CERs by the World Bank. The monetary valuation contributes to extend the importance of starting a process that allows to incorporate these economic benefits to the actual mechanisms of market that helps the local efforts for conservation.
