Veraart Inmaculada Férriz Nick W. Owens Laura Royo Martin R. Honey Ciencias de la Tierra Long volunteers term studies biodiversity economic values This paper puts forward a multi-disciplinary field project, set up in 1989 at theParc Natural de s’Albuferain Mallorca, Balearic Islands,Spain, as an example of a cost effective model for integrating science and volunteer participation in a coastal protected area. Outcomesinclude the provision of a science base for the effective management of the site; training of Balearic and international biologists andprotected area managers; and providing information materials for public awareness, education and general dissemination purposes. Thishas been achieved at low cost by using the voluntary sector. The project incorporates scientists, wetland managers, students, scholars andother citizens under the auspices of an international volunteer network (TAIB), working in partnership with theParcmanagement team.Long-term monitoring over a 25-year span of subjects as varied as insects, birds, land and aquatic ecosystems and communities has ledto an improved ecological understanding of socio-economic as well as environmental impacts and threats for the catchment. This paperillustrates the added value of a long-term ecological knowledge base for decision making and capacity building in protected areas in orderto reduce environmental impacts from socio-economic development in surrounding coastal zones. It describes how the science base hasbeen used as a means of communication to encourage early action by policy makers to avoid negative outcomes of costly future impact onthe public purse; and highlights how the economic value of long-term monitoring as an early warning system far outweighs the modestcost to society of an integrated participatory project based in the volunteer sector. The Albufera experience is offered as a cost effectivemodel for other coastal and island sites. 2014 artículo científico 1646-8872 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=388340107009 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3883 Revista de Gestão Costeira Integrada - Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management application/pdf Associação Portuguesa dos Recursos Hídricos Revista de Gestão Costeira Integrada - Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (Portugal) Num.2 Vol.14 |
