1 The State of Marine Research in Cuba Patricia González Díaz, PhD Center of Marine Research University of Havana ; 1
2 Summary Marine Research in Cuba General characteristics of coastal marine ecosystems Main threats Research areas and institutions 2
3 General characteristics of Cuban marine ecosystems Climatic conditions - Subtropical climate - Annual average of precipitation: 1375 mm - Tides: change of 20 cm/day - Seasons: dry (November to April) and rainy (May to October) - Extreme meteorological events Huracán Mitch 3
4 General characteristics of Cuban marine ecosystems Strong physical, genetic and ecological conectivity! Mangrove and estuaries Seagrass beds Coral reefs Land Open sea 4
5 Cuban mangroves ~ 5.1 % of Cuban archipelago surface. ~ Represent approximately 20.1 % of forest cover. ~ Ocuppy, aproximately, between % of our coast line. ~ High ecological significance because represent transition between land and sea. 5
6 Cuban seagrass beds - Vertical distribution since intertidal zone to 15 m depth. - 6 species. - Variable density ( leaf/m 2 ). - Variable biomass ( kg/m 2 ). - Highly influenced by environmental factors. 6
7 Cuban coral reefs - Shelf edge extends approximately 5746 km. - Total extension of coral reefs is ~3781 km. - Cuban coral reefs can be found along almost the entire border of Cuban shelf and many of the gulfs. 7
8 Main biotopes of Cuban coral reefs Crest Rocky plain Gorgonian plain Terrace edge Spur and groove 8

11 Main threats - Subsistence overfishing - Sedimentation and land-based pollution - Direct damages Effects of climate change - Bleaching and diseases 11
12 What we do in front of this scenario? 12
13 Research Building capabilities 13
14 Main research lines - Oceanographic, ecologic and genetic conectivity. - Population genetics. - Coastal processes. - Marine meteorology. - Biodiversity patterns. - Paleoclimatic reconstruction. - Marine protected areas. - Endangered species (sharks, manatíes). - Invasive species (lion fish, clarias). - Bioproducts. - Fisheries management and research in stock fisheries. - Effects of natural and anthropogenic impacts. - Health of coastal ecosystems (mangrove, seagrass beds and coral reefs). - Global change. - Resilience processes. - Conservation and management of coastal ecosystems. 14
