In the medium and long term, the 8-year “Mi Costa” (My Coast) project is expected to recover more than 15,000 hectares of coastal ecosystems, mainly mangroves, forests and marsh grasslands that will restore the functionality of wetlands, explained Sandra Loza Alvarez, PhD in Science, researcher at the Institute of Marine Sciences (ICIMAR) and technical coordinator of the initiative.

In an exclusive interview for the Cuban News Agency, she said that direct interventions in La Coloma, Cajio Beach, Surgidero de Batabano, Jucaro, Florida Beach, Santa Cruz del Sur and Manzanillo will increase resilience to extreme hydrometeorological events in the most vulnerable communities of Cuba’s southern coast.
