Abstract

By making a general introduction to the topic of natural resources, this paper presents an analysis in order to identify the exploitation of the natural resources of families in the coastal area of El Salvador, since it is considered an important factor for the management of natural disasters, as well as the knowledge of protection and conservation of resources in the coastal zone, Deforested and polluted mangroves affect the productivity of various species, runoff and the use of agrochemicals. The study was quantitative with a descriptive correlational approach, whose sample was made up of 1,810 families. The survey technique was applied using QuestionPro software. This study was carried out to know the current state of natural resources in the coastal zone, the results show that the majority of people in the coastal zone stated that they were not trained in the management of water for irrigation and fish rearing in 70.5% of the family members of how to treat crops damaged or affected by pests, was found in 61% most families do not have enough knowledge the data of this report is evidenced that in relation to the area near the residences of the family occur practices of the same residents who disfavor the natural resources that are part of the ecosystem where they live, it is evident that in relation to the community if there is a risk of flooding and water overflows, 58.0%, also express that they if they use firewood as a family as fuel for the home either for the kitchen in 79.46%; and other families expressed that they do not use firewood for household chores in 20.6%, they use propane gas for their activities. Most families make use of this resource for the home. In the communities of the marine coastal zone there is a high reduction of salt forest, the poor use and poor care of their natural resources that has led to a progressive damage to the nearby marine ecosystem.
