About this statute

This provision identifies Law 2243 of 2022 and states that it protects mangrove ecosystems and sets out other provisions. The law’s purpose is to protect mangrove ecosystems and to plan their management and use, while promoting conservation and restoration where they have been affected. This article defines several terms used in the law, including mangrove, sustainable use, zonification, and mangrove socioecological system. This article classifies mangrove areas in Colombia into preservation, sustainable use, and restoration zones, and says mangrove planning should include community participation. Mangrove zoning and land-use rules are treated as higher-ranking environmental rules for territorial planning, and zoning must be done participatively with local communities and institutions.
