Políticas públicas para la conservación y protección de la Laguna de Yahuarcocha

This work focused its interest on the current environmental situation of the Yahuarcocha Lagoon, a micro-basin located in the Ibarra canton, identifying the problem of the absence of exclusive Public Policies for the management of sewage and solid waste, urban growth and the tourist activity. Hence, it is relevant to evaluate both the effectiveness of public policies designed by the competent authority, as well as compliance with their corresponding legal regime. In this sense, the objective of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of public policies designed and applied in the Laguna de Yahuarcocha sector, both by the Decentralized Autonomous Government of the Ibarra canton, and by the Ministry of the Environment, Water and Ecological Transition, by studying its legal regime and its Comprehensive Management Plan, in order to know its current situation and make some suggestions. The research approach was qualitative and its level of depth was descriptive. The methods used were the legal partner and the analytical method. As a result, the responsibility for protecting nature falls mainly on the State and society, having main responsibility for all environmental management with the National Decentralized Environmental Management System, in coordination with the Decentralized Autonomous Governments. Concluding that there are no exclusive public policies to act against the current state of the Lagoon, however, with the existing Ordinances the decrease in cyanobacteria populations has been achieved, also evaluating the decrease in phycocyanin, which is the pigment of cyanobacteria.
