Value of Coral Reefs & Mangroves in the Caribbean
This document contains a methodology for assessing economic value of three goods and services provided by coral reef ecosystems in the Caribbean. The paper begins with a background on the importance of coral reefs and ecosystem goods and services, and provides a brief overview of economic valuation methods. Next, we present our current approach for valuing three important coral-reef associated ...
متن کاملMangroves Enhance Reef Fish Abundance at the Caribbean Regional Scale
Several studies conducted at the scale of islands, or small sections of continental coastlines, have suggested that mangrove habitats serve to enhance fish abundances on coral reefs, mainly by providing nursery grounds for several ontogenetically-migrating species. However, evidence of such enhancement at a regional scale has not been reported, and recently, some researchers have questioned the...
متن کاملBiogeography of wood-boring crustaceans (Isopoda: Limnoriidae) established in European coastal waters.
Marine wood-borers of the Limnoriidae cause great destruction to wooden structures exposed in the marine environment. In this study we collated occurrence data obtained from field surveys, spanning over a period of 10 years, and from an extensive literature review. We aimed to determine which wood-boring limnoriid species are established in European coastal waters; to map their past and recent ...
متن کاملMangroves on the Edge: Anthrome-Dependent Fragmentation Influences Ecological Condition (Turbo, Colombia, Southern Caribbean)
Marine protected areas are commonly seen as the most effective strategy for protecting mangroves from external human pressures but little is known about the role of public land-tenure contexts (dense settlements, agricultural or range lands and wild anthromes) on clearing rates, patch properties, and ecological condition. We addressed the following questions using a peri-urban to wild gradient ...
متن کاملThe Mesoproterozoic – no “boring billion”
The authors show that the Mesoproterozoic (1.6-1.0 bn year before present) was no “boring billion” but a “bustling billion” - not only with Stromatolites and their apex in the Calymmian and Ectasian but also with the presence of multicellular organisms. To make it visible a graphical reconstruction was created. For a long time, it was assumed that there existed no noteworthy biosphere on Earth ...
