| description | Coastal lagoons are a special type of boundary ecosystem between marine and terrestrial environments, which in many cases are threatened by human activities developed in the periphery. One of the most important anthropogenic impacts sustained by coastal lagoons is eutrophication, as a result of nutrient enrichment of the water from agriculture and deficient treatment systems. In the European Union, laws such as the Water Framework Directive and Marine Strategy Framework Directive aim to achieve a good ecological status for these ecosystems through a program of measures, which must take into account the benefits generated by them. In this study we have applied the contingent valuation method to estimate the benefits generated by the measures to improve the ecological status of the Mar Menor coastal lagoon (SE Spain), one of the most important of the Mediterranean Sea.

Las lagunas costeras son un tipo especial de ecosistema fronterizo entre el medio marino y el terrestre, que en muchos casos están amenazadas por las actividades humanas desarrolladas en su periferia. Uno de los impactos antropogénicos más importantes que sufren es su eutrofización, como consecuencia de un enriquecimiento en nutrientes de aguas provenientes de la agricultura y de sistemas de depuración deficientes. En la Unión Europea existen normas, como la Directiva Marco del Agua y la Directiva Marco sobre la Estrategia Marina, para regular el buen estado ecológico de estos ecosistemas mediante un programa de medidas que debe ser evaluado económicamente teniendo en cuenta los beneficios generados por las mismas. En este trabajo se ha aplicado el método de la valoración contingente para estimar los beneficios generados por las medidas de mejora del estado ecológico de la laguna costera del Mar Menor (SE España), una de las más importantes del Mar Mediterráneo. Los resultados muestran que existe una disposición a pagar por la implantación de medidas adicionales a la depuración de aguas residuales urbanas u otras impuestas por la normativa. A partir de los valores de disposición a pagar obtenidos, se han estimado los beneficios ambientales generados por la corrección de los impactos del Mar Menor. Estos beneficios ascienden a 17.4 millones de euros anuales, de los cuales 7.7 se corresponden con el incremento en el valor de uso y 9.7 en el valor de no uso. Por otro lado, la estimación de la función de demanda derivada ha puesto de manifiesto que variables como el vínculo con el Mar Menor y el nivel de concientización ambiental influyen positivamente en la disposición a pagar manifestada. |
