Purpose
Overall goal
The model approach developed based on experiences at Olomega and El Jocotal Lagoons is actually applied in practice in El Salvador.
Project Purpose
An institutional framework to ensure integrated management of Olomega and El Jocotal Lagoons is developed, as a model approach, to promote conservation and wise use of wetlands in El Salvador.
Outputs
An institutionally cross-cutting wetland management mechanism with the Wetland Unit of MARN as the central coordination body is strengthened.
Wetland Management Plans including zoning with the local communities around Olomega and El Jocotal Lagoons are developed.
Pilot activities based on the characteristics of Olomega and El Jocotal Lagoons are implemented as partial implementation of the management plans.
Networking is enhanced with stakeholders concerning other wetlands in and outside of El Salvador through dissemination of knowledge and experience gained in the Project.
Project Activities
1-1 Establish Wetland Committees at national and local levels and facilitate the operation of the committees.
1-2 Collect the basic data on environment (e.g. water quality, water level, flood, biodiversity, etc.) and socio-economy (e.g. population trend, development plans) and analyse them.
1-3 Report the results of the analyses to the national and local Wetland Committees to be used for making the management decisions in their regular meetings (e.g. management planning and monitoring).
1-4 Establish monitoring system for regular updates of the data
1-5 Provide data to Wetland Unit to update Ramsar Information Sheet (RIS)
1-6 Develop an Operational Guideline for Wetland Committees at national and local levels
2-1 Prepare wetland management plans including zoning along with a long-list of potential pilot activities in a participatory manner using the results of the analyses.
2-2 Submit the wetland management plans for the approval of MARN through Wetland Unit.
2-3 Share the plans with local stakeholders to raise awareness.
2-4 Develop a Wetland Management Planning Guideline that can be applied in other Ramsar sites in El Salvador.
3-1 Develop criteria and procedures for selecting the pilot activities.
3-2 Prepare a short-list of pilot activities from the long-list with reference to 3-1 and in a participatory manner.
3-3 Select the pilot activities out of the short list and prepare an action plan with proper budget.
3-4 Implement and monitor the pilot activities
3-5 Develop implementation guidelines based on the pilot activities
3-6 Conduct workshops to share experiences of participating in pilot activities for the non-participating community members
4-1 Prepare PR materials using outputs such as the wetland management plan and pilot activities and conduct various PR activities.
4-2 Organize site visits by inviting stakeholders of other Ramsar sites in El Salvador.
4-3 Organize/ participate in international events with stakeholders of other projects and countries particularly within the Central American Region in collaboration with the Ramsar Secretariat and CCAD.
