  • An Overview of Cuban Seagrasses
    Bull Mar Sci. 94(2):269–282. 2018 research paper https://doi.org/10.5343/bms.2017.1014 An overview of Cuban seagrasses Centro de Investigaciones Beatriz Martínez-Daranas * Marinas, Universidad de La Habana, Calle 16 No. 114, Ana M Suárez Miramar, Playa, Havana, 11300, Cuba. * Corresponding author email: <[email protected]>. ABSTRACT.—Here, we present an overview of the current knowledge of Cuban seagrasses, including distribution, status, threats, and efforts for their conservation. It has been estimated that seagrasses cover about 50% of the Cuban shelf, with six species reported and Thalassia testudinum K.D. Koenig being the most dominant. Seagrasses have been studied primarily in three areas in Cuba (northwest, north-central, and southwest). Thalassia testudinum and other seagrasses exhibit spatial and temporal variations in abundance, and updating of their status and distribution is needed. The main threat to Cuban seagrass ecosystems is low seawater transparency due to causes such as eutrophication and erosion. High salinities limit their distribution in the Sabana-Camagüey Archipelago, partly the result of freshwater dams and roads. Seagrass meadows play important ecological k roles and provide many ecosystem services in Cuba, with efforts underway to preserve this ecosystem. Research and Marine Ecology and Conservation in Cuba management projects are directed toward integrated coastal zone management, including a ban on trawl fisheries and the Guest Editors: extension of marine protected areas to contain more seagrass Joe Roman, Patricia González-Díaz meadows. In addition to updating species distributions, it is Date Submitted: 17 February, 2017. urgent that managers and researchers in Cuba examine the Date Accepted: 22 November, 2017.

Hasta la fecha un total de diez han sido incluidos en la lista. Juventud Rebelde ofrece imágenes que muestran ciudades, parques, tradiciones y valles reconocidos por la UNESCO como Patrimonios de la Humanidad. Con casi cinco siglos de vida, La Habana Vieja y su sistema de fortificaciones coloniales, situada cerca del interior del puerto, muestra junto a sus atributos naturales un valioso patrimonio arquitectónico, reconocido entre los mejores conservados de América Latina. Este añejo enclave, fundado por los españoles en 1519, se convirtió en el siglo XVII en un importante astillero para la región del Caribe. Declarado Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad por la Organización de Naciones Unidas para la Educación la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO), en diciembre de 1982, La Habana Vieja conserva la arquitectura típica de la época colonial y cuenta con plazas, palacetes, mansiones, catedrales, castillos, conventos e iglesias, en los que se aprecia la mezcla de monumentos barrocos y neoclásicos.
