Multi-stakeholder perspectives on coastal and marine (connectivity) management in Dominican Republic
(2016)Large-scale connectivity conservation initiatives are increasing in prevalence as a variety of benefits are continually being demonstrated through these models, such as establishing and strengthening marine protected area ... -
Nature and distribution of beach ridges on the islands of the Greater Caribbean
(2024)Beach ridges originate from various depositional processes and occur in a variety of settings. This paper assesses their nature and distribution on the islands of the Greater Caribbean based on a literature review and the ... -
Networking among scientists and managers improves benthic habitat knowledge at six remote Caribbean MPA’s
(2007)[English] Improving benthic habitat information within remote Caribbean marine protected areas (MPA) requires diverse skills, including capability with remote sensing techniques and the use geographic information system ... -
Origin and evolution of Caribbean mangroves : A time-continuum ecological approach
(2024)This book provides a comprehensive, detailed, and coherent spatio-temporal account of Caribbean mangrove evolution. Analysis of the main natural and anthropogenic drivers of ecological and evolutionary change. Utility of ... -
Past disturbances and local conditions influence the recovery rates of coral reefs
(2024)Corals are being increasingly subjected to marine heatwaves. Theory suggests that increasing the intensity of disturbances reduces recovery rates, which inspired us to examine the recovery rates of coral cover following ... -
Pollution management model for coastal and marine systems in the northern region of the Dominican Republic
(2022)Blackground: Pollution of coastal and marine systems concerns the people, governments and businesses, due to the importance of coastal marine systems for economic activity (tourism, fishing, among others) and the conservation ... -
Preservation and recovery of mangrove ecosystem carbon stocks in abandoned shrimp ponds
(2019)Mangrove forests capture and store exceptionally large amounts of carbon and are increasingly recognised as an important ecosystem for carbon sequestration. Yet land-use change in the tropics threatens this ecosystem and ... -
Reefs from space : satellite imagery, marine ecology, and ethnography in the Dominican Republic
(1994)Coral reef bleaching is an obvious indication that coastal marine ecosystems are being stressed. However, bleached reefs alone are poor indicators because they reflect the final stages of stress. This research project used ... -
Responses of Caribbean mangroves to quaternary climatic, eustatic, and anthropogenic drivers of ecological change : a review
(2022)Mangroves are among the world’s most threatened ecosystems. Understanding how these ecosystems responded to past natural and anthropogenic drivers of ecological change is essential not only for understanding how extant ... -
Rise and fall of Caribbean mangroves
(2024)Highlights: Mangrove forests are essential for coastal ecology and the main blue‑carbon ecosystems. -- The Caribbean mangroves (CM) originated 50 my ago and diversified in the last 5 my. -- At current deforestation rates, ... -
Risk perception assessment of Sargassum blooms in Dominican Republic
(2024)The Sargassum have become a cyclical phenomenon that generates ecological, economic, and social problems in the Caribbean. The situation becomes more serious in a context of voluntary acceptance of the problem, which ... -
Satellite monitoring of coastal marine ecosystems: a case from the Dominican Republic
(1991)Este reporte se ocupa de los cambios globales en los ecosistemas marinos de la costa, especialmente los que están ocurriendo en la Isla Española. Los arrecifes de coral de la Española, como cualquier otro ecosistema marino ... -
Sedimentation as an important environmental influence on Dominican Republic reefs
(2001)Reconnaissance surveys and benthic community mapping in Parque Nacional del Este, southeastern Dominican Republic, revealed that discontinuous and poorly developed fringing reefs are interspersed with vast areas of low-relief ... -
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) case definition for wildlife
(2024)Diagnostic laboratories receive carcasses and samples for diagnostic evaluation and pathogen/toxin detection. The intent of a case definition is to provide scientifically based criteria for determining (1) if an individual ... -
Studying common-pool resources over time : a longitudinal case study of the Buen Hombre fishery in the Dominican Republic
(2016)Like many small-scale fishing communities around the world, the community of Buen Hombre in the Dominican Republic is dealing with a set of challenges to reconcile its fishing activities with the ecology on which it depends. ... -
The Caribbean Coastal Marine Productivity Program (CARICOMP)
(2001)CARICOMP is a regional scientific program to study land-sea interaction processes in the Caribbean coastal zone. It has been collecting data since 1992, when a Data Management Centre was established at the University of ... -
The oldest Holocene Caribbean mangroves and the postglacial sea level rise : biogeographical implications
(2024)The Neotropical mangroves originated in the southern Caribbean region during the Eocene (50-40 Ma), underwent a major evolutionary turnover in the Eocene/Oligocene transition (~34 Ma), and diversified during the Neogene ... -
The potential for mangrove and seagrass blue carbon in Small Island States
(2023)Blue carbon is attracting substantial interest as a natural climate solution. Focus has been on countries with large blue carbon stocks, though the high carbon densities of blue carbon ecosystems make them suitable for ... -
Tropical cyclones and the organization of mangrove forests : a review
(2020)Background: Many mangrove ecosystems are periodically exposed to high velocity winds and surge from tropical cyclones, and often recover with time and continue to provide numerous societal benefits in the wake of storm ... -
