Return

To Paradise

Seperation Seperation is a summary about the relationship of ecology and anthropogenic action of the past. Ecology and human activities are at both ends of the dualism. Design and construction more focused on human experience while ignoring the role of ecology.

Cooperation Cooperation is the definition of the objectives of the project. Refers to the process of exploring cooperation between ecology and human activities. Ecological fitness and human comfort should have equally consider.

Contribution Contribution is a desire for the relationship between future ecology and human activities. Anthropogenic produce and ecological system should contribute to each other, forming a mutually beneficial relationship.

Return

To Paradise Paradise should be good and happiness for people and creatures. However, with the increasing human activities and the neglect and destruction of the ecological environment, the living environment has become farther and farther away from heaven for creatures other than human beings. This project uses turtles as research agent, exploring the impact of human activities on wildlife and the damage to the habitat environment at this stage. And explore the possibility of creating a state of mutual cooperation between ecology and human activities through the means of landscape design. Human beings cannot live alone in the world. Emcompassing human needs while balancing ecological fitness become necessary. Once the human and ecosystem form a mutually beneficial relationship, then for all living things, they will return to the paradise of good happiness.

Introduction Return to paradise is a ecotourism proposal that shift the original economy priority framework to ecology priority framework. The Return to paradise ecotourism project is linked to the wildlife habitat that have been serious destroyed by the pollution from the traditional tourism program. As tourism develop in Nuevo Vallarta, many luxury hotel and golf course have been establish in the area. The toxic water and daily land fill has been emission to the lagoon and channel from those tourism facilities. The mangrove and coastal has been polluted by the black water, wildlife like birds, crocodiles and sea turtles are also at risk. In order to reducing the negative effect to ecosystem from the tourism, the project has two goals. One is Ecology goal. There are two main strategies related to the goal: 1.Improve water quality: Improving water quality is the basis for improving the overall ecological environment quality of the region. Because the water quality directly related to the condition of the habitat. The main methodology of improve the water quality is establish constructed wetland near the golf course and soften the river bank. The purpose is using the vegetation cut off the source of pollution and also absorb the toxic elements from the water. 2.Mangrove Forest Restoration: White mangroves serve as a characteristic vegetation of the area and also as a habitat for a variety of animals. The methods is replanting the baby mangrove in lagoon area and also plant follow the riverbank. The second goal is response to the tourism. The goal is response to the ecotourism experience. The main ambition is to enhance the wildlife watching experience. For this goal, there are two strategies: 1.Establish New Landmarks: Establishing a series of landmarks related to the habitat restoration proposal can help to enhance the feeling of the ecotourism project. 2.Infrastructure: Travel support facilities are set up according to the terrain conditions and surrounding environment to enhance the tourist experience. Based on the natural succession of plant communities, the overall landscape will change over time. So the purpose of setting up facilities and landmarks is to enable people to experience the natural landscape of each period more intuitively and to feel the changes of the landscape over time.

Hunman Can not live in the world as the only living thing. But what people do now is killing other animals, and destroy the environment step by step.

Global Sea Turtle Situation As a core member of coastal ecosystems and coral ecosystems, turtles are an important hub linking humans, the environment and other animals. The core framework of the system is to study the protection and threat of human activities by the turtlecentered ecosystem. Through landscape interventions, the threat of human activities to sea turtles and turtle habitats, as well as the ecological restoration of habitats, are mitigated. Due to population growth and increasing urbanization, the interfer- ence of human activities into the ecological environment is inevitable. The intensification of human activities has gradually led to the blurring of the boundaries of the ideal ecosystem or the ideal habitat environment, and the deformation is known to eventually collapse. Human activities completely cover the entire ecological habitat system.

Nesting Site

Discovering Hot Nesting Region Despite their wide distribution and migratory behavior, many turtles and other large ocean predators aggregate in concentrated hotspots that are surprisingly small and migrate in similar patterns each year. Preliminary analysis of Tagging Of Pacific Pelagics (TOPP) and NOAA tagging data suggests consistent patterns of movement over time and isolated hotspot areas where turtles spend the majority of their time. This information can be used to identify and protect important ecological areas for sea turtles as they move across ocean regions (Ferraroli et al. 2004).

1. U.S West Coast Each year, some sea turtle cross the entire Pacific Basin to feed in the nutrient-rich waters of the California Current. Attracted to congregations of jellyfish, their primary food source, these Asian- born travelers visit coastal areas like Monterey Bay, providing a rare opportunity to see these ancient Pacific reptiles. Since 2001, the U.S. government has annually closed a large area off the - coast of California and Oregon to drift gillnetting during the fall when leatherback sea turtles are known to feed there, resulting in no reported leatherback catch. Illustrated migration route based on TOPP and NOAA leatherback taggings by Peter Dutton, Scott Eckert, - Pala- dino, and Scott Benson, George Shillinger, Bryan Wallace, Jim Spotila, Frank Barbara Block.

2. Baja California

3. Costa Rica

Recent SEA TURTLE satellite tagging has revealed that while log- gerheads span ocean basins, they spend a surprising amount of their lives (over 95%) foraging in a small, localized area off the Pa- cific Coast of Baja California Sur, Mexico, where pelagic red crabs are found at high densities on the shallow continental shelf (Nichols et al. 2000).

This last major eastern Pacific population of SEA TURTLE has plummeted in recent years and is in high danger of extinction. After nesting, adults migrate along 7 a sea of underwater mountains, feed in the Galapagos Islands, and continue offshore of Chile where they disperse to feeding areas on the high seas. Illustration based on TOPP and NOAA sea turtle.

Ocean Current Ocean currents are the biggest boost in the migration of sea turtles. Understanding the ocean current distribution can infer the nesting position of the turtleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential activity route

Sea Level Change Sea level rise is one of the potential threats to sea turtles. As the sea level rises, a large number of coastal areas are lost, and the turtles lose their nesting habitat.

Mangrove Location Recently, mangrove has become a new breeding and matching site for Hawksbill sea turtle. It must be a new pertential seaturtle habitates. In addition, mangrove has special senery which attract more and more tourism. However, urbanization and climate change also threat mangrove.

4. Japan 4

Japanese nesting Hawksbill sea turtles have declined by over 80% in the last 15 years (Kamezaki et al. 2003).

Sea turtle Shell Trade As one of the precious stones, clam shell is very popular among high-income people in Asia. Especially in Japan, the production and sale of enamel crafts has a long history. Turtle shell trade has become one of the biggest threats to turtle life.

5. Malaysia What was once one of two major nesting sites for Hawksbill sea turtle has disappeared within the last decade. The Terengganu, Malaysia, population is effectively extinct, with the number of nesting females perhaps as low as 2-5 (NMFS 2006).

6. Indonesia 7

Though significantly reduced over the last 30 years, Jamursba Medi and War Mon beaches are the last remaining major nesting areas of Hawksbill sea turtle.

7. Eastern Asia Until recently, eastern Australia hosted one of the major Hawksbill breeding aggregations on the planet. Since 1977, nesting females declined by 86% (Limpus and Limpus 2003). These sea turtles travel throughout the southwest Pacific and sometimes migrate across the Pacific to Chile.

Coastal Urban Popullation

With the urbanization and population growth in the coastal areas, the beach area is eroded by human activities, and the turtles cannot find suitable nesting sites or the hatching rate of sea turtles declines.

Wildlife Watching Tourism Wildlife watching tourism, like other types of tourism, is sensitive to economic circumstances and has decreased during this recent economic recession. Nevertheless, wildlife watching tourism is a growing market segment and interest in wildlife watching trips has only increased with a rise in media coverage and Internet communication.

Conservation issues and awareness of the risk of extinction of an increasing number of species also contribute to touristsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; motivation to observe wildlife ranging freely in their natural habitats21.

Marine Turtle Observation In 2004, a WWF study analyzed the non-consumptive use of marine turtles for observation in 13 locations in the tropics and subtropics of Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. In nine of these locations, this activity is considered a major revenue generator while in the other four locations is only one of many attractions.

Southeast Asian The Southeast Asian islands are numerous and are the main distribution sites for coral reefs, providing a rich food re- source and a large number of spawning grounds for alfalfa and other turtles, making it an important habitat for alfalfa. At the same time, Southeast Asia is also the main producer of enamel products. Due to the prosperity of the fishing industry and peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pursuit of economic interests, a large number of cockroaches lose their lives every year.

Sea turtles, and it is also a region with a serious urbanization process. At the same time, the Gulf of Mexico region is also a concentration of turtle shell trade. In recent years, Mexico has gradually become a popular tourist resort, especially in central Mexico. The hatching of turtles and the return of the turtles to the sea have even become a tourist project. After entering the year 2000, the Mexican region began to re- alize the importance of protecting sea turtles and introduced a series of measures and measures to protect sea turtles. For example, legislation restricting the trade of the tortoise shells, as well as the protection of nesting turtles and baby turtles by the popular tourist destinations, has increased the survival rate and nesting rate of sea turtles in the past decade. Due to the improvement of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awareness and the great enthusiasm of the local government and civil protection or- ganizations for the protection of sea turtles, the ecological habitat of the area has been repaired.

Stakehold of Wildlife watching International Hotel Chains

Wildlife watching tourism involves many different groups of stakeholders. A stakeholder is any person or group that is involved in or may be affected by an activity. For wildlife watching tourism, stakeholders include indigenous and local communities; wildlife managers in public and private sectors; national and local government; conservation NGOs (especially wildlife societies which have a role in popularizing and raising awareness about wildlife and conservation); the tourism sector including tour operators, local operators, excursion providers, and accommodation; and, of course, tourists.

Nuevo Vallarta is a planned residential-resort community located in the Mexican state of Nayarit. By automobile, it is about fifteen minutes north of Puerto Vallarta's Licenciado Gustavo DĂaz Ordaz International Airport. Nuevo Vallarta receives many tourists from both the United States and Canada and has many malls and stores that accept payment in Mexican pesos or U.S. dollars.

Water

Tourism is the core economic income source of Nuevo Vallarta. In addition to the existing tourism industry such as coastal tourism, golf, and pleasure boat, the region will plan to build large-scale theme parks in the next decade. The introduction of the concept of ecotourism into the region has become one of the contents of the strategic planning for the future development of the region, in which the landscape plays an important role in ecological restoration and creation of a new ecological environment.

Need & Action

+Why Nuevo Vallarta Nuevo Vallarta is more than just a resort, it is a habitat with a variety of geographical and topographical environments. The negative impact of human activities on these habitats has attracted the attention of surrounding communities. The surrounding community has a strong appeal to enhance the overall environment of the entire Nuevo Vallarta area. Thus, developing eco-tourism is a good choice for the region.

+Why Lagoon Quelele Surrounded by more than one hundred hectares of white mangroves around Lagoon Quelele. Therefore, Lagoon Quelele has become an important habitat for animals and plants. As the only large lake in the region, the surrounding community has a strong demand for dealing with Lagoon pollution. For eco-tourism, Lagoon can be one of the most important sights for wildlife sightseeing.

+Why Follow the channel Channel links Lagoon and the estuary area. Due to the domestic garbage generated by resort hotels and holiday homes along the coast, the entire canal was seriously polluted and has introduction contaminated the coastal area. The surrounding community also has a strong demand for dealing with canal pollution. For eco-tourism, coastal mangroves and cruise ship tours will be an important attraction for tourists. 22

In the more than 20 years since 1994, the urbanization of the Nuevo VallartaPuerto Vallarta region is increasing. The urban area and farmland area are gradually increasing, correspondingly the area of the â&#x20AC;&#x2039;â&#x20AC;&#x2039; natural area is gradually decreasing. As the second largest tourist city and the most prestigious tourist area in Mexico, the Puerto Vallarta-Nuevo Vallarta area receives a large number of visitors every year. This has led to the construction of a large number of tourist services such as resort hotels and golf courses in the area. Despite this, the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ecotourism resources cannot be ignored. Mangrove resources, birds, crocodiles, sea turtles and other wildlife resources also bring a large number of tourists to the area. Introducing new eco-tourism and shifting the focus of tourism development to upgrading the natural environment and developing wildlife tourism projects will open up new roads for the development of the region.

Hydrology & Pollution Lagoon Quelele is the only large lake in the region and flows into the sea through a 9km long canal. The resort complex of lagoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf course and salt canal is the main source of pollution.

Contour Water Building Road Vegetation Flood 2m Flood 3m Flood 6m Land Fill Toxic Pollution

The Lagoon Lagoon Quelele ie the only interesting body of water in the municipality and that fulfills a very important function of regulating the micro climate in which it is located.

The Water Die It is considered that agrochemicals and leachates are present in the system due to the proximity to the "Flamingos" golf course in Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit and to the restaurants located around the body of water that do not have a drainage system.

Environment Impact

The hoteliers of Nuevo Vallarta with their proverbial blindness have stopped and although it comes very closely through nine kilometers of channels to an estuary, del Chino, which is the small Marina of Nuevo Vallarta

The flora is reduced by the felling, introduction of species and the affectation by plagues. Likewise, the site shows the introduction of exotic fauna and the hunting of native species. No fauna was affected by vehicular traffic, but there is considerable fragmentation of the vegetation for the construction of roads. This affects atmospheric emissions, mainly from dust and smoke generated by machinery used for construction

Serious Pollution All the water that arrives there is infested with black water and it leaves in a very short stretch to the sea by a channel breakwater, consequently that part of the beaches of Nuevo Vallarta is infested. On the side of the candidates for the state and municipal governorship of BahĂa de Banderas, there is a notable absence of awareness of the importance of preserving this estuary system.

Therefore, mangrove forests are the key areas for ecological restoration. The goal of mangrove restoration is to rebuild the mangrove forest along the canal and repair the mangrove forest surrounding Lagoon. Creat special mangrove corridor.

Tourism Goal New Landmarks: My goal is to create a series of landmarks throughout the Nuevo Vallarta area as a symbol of each small area and an experiential landscape architecture. Infrastructure: In each small area, travel support facilities are set up according to the terrain conditions and surrounding environment to enhance the tourist experience. Landscape Change With Time: Based on the natural succession of plant communities, the overall landscape will change over time. So the purpose of setting up facilities and landmarks is to enable people to experience the natural landscape of each period more intuitively and to feel the changes of the landscape over time.

New Ecotourism Structure Nuevo Vallarta's original tourism structure is dominated by economic interests. The main tourist projects and sources of economic benefits are golf driving range and resort hotels. Base on the research, the golf driving range and resorts attract international visitors from the US and Canada. On the other hand, eco-tourism sites dominated by mangrove areas around Lagoon Quelele attract a large number of animal and plant tourism enthusiasts and experts. The new ecotourism structure is transformed into ecological development. Planning vegetation and habitat restoration based on existing tourism projects and developing wildlife watching tourism with local characteristics. Ecological restoration can alleviate the river pollution caused by golf courses and hotels in the original structure to a certain extent. In addition, eco-tourism, which is dominated by wildlife tourism, can attract a large number of animal and plant tourism enthusiasts and experts. This part of the tourists will become potential customers of the hotel and will also play a positive role in the development of the regional economy.

Connected Water: Connect the small lagoon in the meadow area to the Lagoon Quelele and channels by building small canals. Accelerate the purification of contaminated water bodies.

Soften Revement: Revetment softening helps to reduce surface runoff and reduce pollutants generated along river banks into the water. The purification effect of plants will also play a positive role in the purification of the entire water system.

B. Restricting Pollutant Discharging Government Department: Nayarit State Departments should step up restrictions on golf course use of highly toxic pesticides. The Nayarit State Department should strengthen and monitor the disposal of domestic waste at hotels along the river. The garbage on the river should also be salvaged and cleaned up in time. Appropriate punishment for the behavior of littering. Limited constructing new hotel in Nuevo Vallarta area.

Habitat Restoration A. Vegetation Restoation Mangrove: Mangroves are an important habitat for a variety of birds and wildlife. The reconstruction of the mangrove environment is important for the overall ecological reconstruction of the Nuevo Vallarta area.

Other Plants: Wetlands are an important foundation for the entire habitat. Wetlands are habitats for small animals such as fish and insects, and form the basis of the overall ecological chain.

B. Animal Habitat Restoration Birds: Birds in the area mainly inhabit the mangroves around the Lagoon Quelele and the estuary area. There are more than 300 species of birds in the entire Nuevo Vallarta area, of which about 164 are rare and endangered. Restoring ecology is essential for protecting rare species.

Hydrology Patterns Replant Baby mangrove should focus on water quility, which effect the successful rate.

Mangrove Restoration White Mangrove: This species normally grows in the back portion of mangrove swamps, which remains unaffected by tidal inundation, except during spring tides. The bark is light brown to reddish dark brown, and the leaves are ovate. Environment: Assess the modifications of the previous mangrove environment that occurred that currently prevents natual secondary succession.

Avicennia Marina Avicennia marina, commonly known as grey mangrove or white mangrove, is a species of mangrove tree classified in the plant family Acanthaceae (formerly in the Verbenaceae or Avicenniaceae). As with other mangroves, it occurs in the intertidal zones of estuarine areas.

Mangrove Swamp Mangrove swamps are coastal wetlands found in tropical and subtropical regions. They are characterized by halophytic (salt loving) trees, shrubs and other plants growing in brackish to saline tidal waters.

Overview S+M=L Based on the natural succession of plant communities, the overall landscape will change over time. So at the end of setting up facilities and landmarks is to enable people to experience the natural landscape of each period more intuitively and to feel the changes of the landscape over time. With the mangrove succession, the whole area will be connected with the vegetation (Mangrove). More and more endangered speciese can be protected. The coorporation between ecosystem and human activities will creat new development to each others.

MANGLARES DE MÉXICO ACTUALIZACIÓN Y EXPLORACIÓN DE LOS DATOS DEL SISTEMA DE MONITOREO 1970/1980−2015

MANGLARES DE MÉXICO

Este libro se presenta para continuar la difusión y poner a disposición del público la información actualizada del Sistema de Monitoreo de los Manglares de México (SMMM). Se exponen los métodos utilizados para generar la cartografía de los manglares y sus zonas aledañas y se hace énfasis en los resultados estadísticos y cartográficos obtenidos en la evaluación de 2015 para cada uno de los estados costeros del país. A diferencia de las publicaciones anteriores, en esta ocasión se abordan cinco temas con los avances más relevantes de algunas de las líneas de investigación que se desarrollan en la Subcoordinación de Percepción Remota de la CONABIO como parte del SMMM , con el propósito de que sean de utilidad para abordar temas similares o profundizar en éstos por otros grupos de trabajo. Estos temas son: 1) el deterioro o perturbación de los manglares por distintos factores asociados principalmente con fenómenos meteorológicos o actividades antrópicas; 2) la detección de los sitios con procesos notables de dinámica de cambio de la línea de costa en las áreas con presencia de manglar; 3) la evaluación del uso de imágenes de satélite de alta resolución espacial para diferenciar Rhizophora mangle de otras especies de manglar; 4) los principales agentes que provocan la transformación de los manglares mexicanos y 5) un análisis, a manera de ejemplo, de cómo la ejecución de políticas públicas pueden tener consecuencias para la conservación de los manglares. Se espera que la información presentada ayude a la toma de decisiones sustentadas en favor de la conservación de éste ecosistema, responsable de un gran número de servicios ambientales, cuyo efecto repercute más allá de la zona costera donde se distribuye.
