Distribution and structure of the southernmost Caribbean coral reefs: golfo de Urabá, Colombia
The Gulf of Urabá represents the southernmost portion of the Caribbean Sea. Due to the large amounts of sediment and freshwater discharged by the Atrato river and several minor streams, water conditions in the area are far from being optimal for coral ...
