Integrated Watershed Action Plan
The specific strategies for each watershed are identified in an Integrated Watershed Management Action Plan, which is adaptive and evolves from a scientific basis. The Plan includes specific actions to be implemented with the participation of public, private and local stakeholders. The Action Plan is jointly developed by local stakeholders and will enable priority watersheds to recover their functionality and better provide ecosystem services, such as clean water to support healthy mangroves that provide climate adaptation benefits.
- The collaboration of local stakeholders.
- A commitment by local stakeholders to implement the action plans.
- Consideration of pre-existing efforts.
- A local agent that leads the process.
- There is previous work in some of the priority watersheds. Action plans should not ignore existing efforts, but promote an inclusive environment for all stakeholders to feel welcome to participate.
- Action plans allow having healthier watersheds since the investments from different institutions are aligned.
