Characterization of a Karst Coastal Ecosystem in the Mexican Caribbean: Assessing the Influence of Coastal Hydrodynamics and Submerged Groundwater Discharges on Seagrass

Characterization of a Karst Coastal Ecosystem in the Mexican Caribbean: Assessing the Influence of Coastal Hydrodynamics and Submerged Groundwater Discharges on Seagrass

Bahia de la Ascension (BA) is a pristine, shallow, karst bay located in the Mexican Caribbean, a region experiencing rapid population growth stimulated by intense tourism development. The overall objective of this study was to address the natural hydrographic variability of this inherently vulnerabl...
