Monitoreo de pastos marinos en Perezoso, Cahuita, Costa Rica (sitio CARICOMP) [PDF]
El pasto marino de Perezoso en el Parque Nacional Cahuita, costa Caribe de Costa Rica, se está monitoreando con el protocolo de CARICOMP. La productividad (2.7±1.15 g/m²/d, n=74) resultó intermedia, comparada con otros sitios del Caribe. La biomasa total resultó de intermedia a alta (750-1 500 g/m²) en la mayoría de los sitios CARICOMP (Colombia, Cuba,

Seagrass structural and elemental indicators reveal high nutrient availability within a tropical lagoon in Panama. [PDF]
Seagrass meadows are valued coastal habitats that provide ecological and economic benefits around the world. Despite their importance, many meadows are in decline, driven by a variety of anthropogenic impacts.

[Seagrass monitoring at Perezoso, Cahuita, Costa Rica (CARICOMP site)].
The seagrass of Perezoso (Cahuita National Park, Caribbean coast of Costa Rica) was monitored using the CARICOMP protocol. Productivity (2.7 +/- 1.15 g/m2/d; n=74) was intermediate, compared to other Caribbean sites. Total biomass was intermediate to high (750-1500 g/m2) at most CARICOMP sites (Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Venezuela ...

Monitoreo del manglar de Gandoca, Costa Rica (sitio CARICOMP)
El manglar de Gandoca, Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre Gandoca-Manzanillo, Caribe de Costa Rica, se ha monitoreado desde 1999. La especie dominante es el mangle rojo Rhizophora mangle. El pico de productividad y producción de flores a lo largo de los años se dio en julio. La productividad del manglar disminuyó desde el 2001 y la temperatura del agua

Region-wide temporal and spatial variation in Caribbean reef architecture: is coral cover the whole story? [PDF]
The architectural complexity of coral reefs is largely generated by reef-building corals, yet the effects of current regional-scale declines in coral cover on reef complexity are poorly understood.

Connectivity between coastal habitats of two oceanic Caribbean islands as inferred from ontogenetic shifts by coral reef fishes [PDF]
Mangroves and seagrass beds are considered important nursery habitats for juveniles of coral reef fishes. Studies have mostly focused on the fish community of just one habitat, so the connectivity between different coastal habitats is often unclear.

Monitoreo del arrecife coralino Meager Shoal, Parque Nacional Cahuita, Costa Rica (sitio CARICOMP)
Monitoring of the Meager Shoal coral reef, Cahuita National Park, Costa Rica (CARICOMP site). The coral reefs at Cahuita National Park, Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, specifically at the CARICOMP site Meager Shoal, have been monitored since 1999. Complete data sets from 2000 and 2004 have shown that live coral cover has increased less than 3 % (from 15
