• W189430728 abstract "ABSTRACT Coral reefs and communities of the Pacific coast of Mexico have been studied since the 19th Century, but considered as rare, and of little importance. Nevertheless, new discoveries during the last decade have brought a renewed interest into these systems. Due to differences in the biological characteristics and composition of the coral communities, the reefs of the west coast of Mexico are naturally divided into three groups: those of the Gulf of California, the Revillagigedo Archipelago, and the tropical Mexican Pacific. In the Gulf, there are abundant coral patches, but only three structures that can be considered reefs; one of them, Cabo Pulmo (23°N), is the most studied reef on the west coast of the country. Frameworks are small, communities are dominated by Pocillopora spp., and zonation is weak. The oceanic Revillagigedo Archipelago (18°N) has fringing reefs in Clarion and Socorro, where pocilloporids prevail in shallow water and massive species in deeper areas. Reefs can attain 3 m in thickness, and present the highest coral species richness in western Mexico (18 taxa). The tropical Pacific shows the best reef development in Mexico at Nayarit (21°N) and Oaxaca (15°N); coral cover is high but diversity is low, because the well-consolidated frameworks are mostly composed of Pocillopora spp. Between these reef areas, long tracts of sandy beaches hinder coral settlement and growth, but some small and isolated communities exist. Along the Pacific coast of Mexico, natural perturbations are common and affect reefs in different ways, depending on their geographic position. Corallivores and bioeroders are widespread, but few studies have been conducted to determine their importance on coral communities. The sea star Acanthaster, Lithophaga bivalves and the urchins Eucidaris and Diadema appear to be the most important species, but because of their low abundance and the high coral cover, accretion seems to be higher than erosion or predation, resulting in net positive growth of reefs. On the other hand, oceanographic and atmospheric events such as hurricanes and the El Nino-Southern Oscillation are suggested to be much more important in determining coral abundance and community structure in Mexico, both on short- and long-term scales. However, their effects are not catastrophic. Human-induced perturbations (in particular fisheries, tourism and sedimentation) are still very localized and of relatively low scale, but they may turn into demanding problems in the coming years because of the lack of official and public attention to the Pacific reefs, the slow implementation of management plans and other protective procedures, and the economic need to develop Mexico's west coastal areas." @default.
