The ecoregion of the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta (CGSM) is the most productive coastal wetland in the world (Chl-a), the first RAMSAR site in Colombia and a Biosphere Reserve.

It is probably the most researched ecosystem in Colombia. In an ongoing effort since 2016, hundreds of documents dating back to 1820 have been identified and catalogued. This repository is made available to the scientific community via our portal Si-CGSM, whose goal is to establish an Information System as a basis for the sustainable management of this ecoregion of local, national and international importance.

 

With funding from the CEMarin Seed Grants program, we are currently seeking donors to implement the project “Sí-CGSM – GIS-based participatory Environmental Information System of the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta”
