- W2049831572 abstract "Coral reef research in Guatemala has a very short history. Hard-bottom biotopes are sparse along both Guatemala's coasts; however, there is no evidence of coral reefs presence on its Pacific coast. Reef development exists on the Caribbean coast, mainly around Punta de Manabique, and most reefs are protected by the Refugio de Vida Silvestre de Punta de Manabique (Punta de Manabique Wildlife Refuge). This is the sole marine park in Guatemala. Coral reefs at Punta de Manabique consist of a series of continental carbonated banks. Currently they are highly deteriorated, live coral cover is low (8.75%) and non-coralline macroalgae cover is high (65%). There are 29 species of scleractinian corals. The main impact to coral reefs at Punta de Manabique is terrestrial sedimentation coming from deforested lands, mainly from the Motagua river basin. High sediment loads are causing coral death and algae overgrowth. Apparently, current herbivorous populations are not able to control the macroalgae. Coral composition is atypical to most Caribbean reefs, which are dominated by Montastraea annularis. Guatemalan reefs are dominated by macroalgae and coral species resistant to sediments, such as Siderastrea siderea. In addition, natural events such as hurricanes, temperature increases and the massive mortality of Diadema in 1983, may have contributed to the deterioration of Guatemalan reefs. Coral reefs at Punta de Manabique constitute one of the most important resources of the coastal-marine territory of Guatemala. The economic activity in Punta de Manabique is focused on artisanal fisheries around these reefs and developing tourism. Promotion of environmental education and research, reinforcement of fishing and tourism regulations, and an adequate management plan for the Refuge and the regional river basins are recommended." @default.
