Abstract

For this, theoretical and empirical methods of documentary information, previous diagnoses about the current situation of said mangroves, as well as cartographic information tools were used. The program complied with Resolution No. 138 of the Ministry of Higher Education for such purposes and was fundamentally based on the directives and principles of the Integrated management of cuban coastal zones. It responded to the needs of the project and was executed by the University of Guantánamo.
