Abstract:
The purpose of this volume is to document the international Caribbean Coastal Marine Productivity (CARICOMP) program, network, and activities by describing the state of coastal habitats where the participating institutions, parks, and reserves have implemented synchronized environmental monitoring. Most of the participating institutions have provided chapters for this book, detailing the local mangrove, seagrass, and coral reef habitats, the salient meteorological and oceanographic characteristics, and the anthropogenic activities and impacts on coastal ecosystems. In addition, the synoptic times series and habitat data 1993-1995, covering the first three years for which the network was fully functional in a data monitoring mode, are included. The data, which were collected by the participants in the network, have been summarized in tables in the concluding chapter by the CARICOMP Data Management Centre at the University of the West Indies on the Mona campus in Kingston, Jamaica. This volume thus represents a snapshot of the state of coastal ecosystems in the wider Caribbean region from Yucatan to Barbados and from Bermuda to the Caribbean coasts of Colombia and Venezuela, as well as from many small and large islands and the coast of Central America in between.
