A century of warming on Caribbean reefs
(2022)Caribbean coral reefs have been warming for over a century, with regional warming starting in 1915 and accelerating since the 1980s. Using three ocean temperature databases, researchers found an average warming rate of ... -
Analysis of the conservation of Central American mangroves using the phytosociological method
(2018)We study the diversity and state of conservation of mangrove forests based on the analysis of 16 plant communities distributed throughout Central America (Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic) using floristic inventories ... -
Análisis económico de proyectos para protección costera y restauración de ecosistemas en el Gran Caribe : métodos, desafíos e innovaciones
(2020)La población costera es una de las más vulnerables a desastres naturales. El reciente reconocimiento del papel de los ecosistemas marino-costeros para reducir su vulnerabilidad ha llevado a ejecutar inversiones directas ... -
Análisis elemental prospectivo de la biomasa algal acumulada en las costas de la República Dominicana durante 2015
(2017)La acumulación y descomposición de cantidades masivas de las algas pardas Sargassum natans y Sargassum fluitans en las costas antillanas se ha convertido en un problema importante de Centroamérica y el Caribe, afectando ... -
Arrecifes en peligro en el Caribe
(2005)"Arrecifes en peligro en el Caribe" es parte integrante de la labor del World Resources Institute (WRI), la Red Internacional de Acción en Defensa de los Arrecifes de Coral (International Coral Reef Action Network, ICRAN) ... -
Assisted sexual coral recruits show high thermal tolerance to the 2023 Caribbean mass bleaching event
(2024)Assisted sexual coral propagation, resulting in greater genet diversity via genetic recombination, has been hypothesized to lead to more adaptable and, hence, resilient restored populations compared to more common clonal ... -
Beyond the bloom : Invasive seaweed Sargassum spp. as a catalyst for sustainable agriculture and blue economy — A multifaceted approach to biodegradable films, biostimulants, and carbon mitigation
(2025)This study explores the valorization of Sargassum spp. for agricultural applications, focusing on the development of biodegradable bioplastics and biostimulants. Field trials demonstrated the effectiveness of Marine ... -
Biochemical and elemental composition of pelagic sargassum biomass harvested across the Caribbean
(2022)Massive and recurrent strandings of pelagic Sargassum biomass have become the new norm in the Caribbean and the Western Africa since 2011, and there is no sign of this abating. These Sargassum events have negative ... -
Calidad de las aguas en ríos que desembocan en playas turísticas : estudio de caso en República Dominicana
(2022)El turismo de sol y playa en modalidad Todo Incluido es una de las principales actividades socioeconómicas de la República Dominicana. La contaminación del agua es un factor determinante para la salud de las comunidades ... -
Caribbean-wide, long-term study of seagrass beds reveals local variations, shifts in community structure and occasional collapse
(2014)The CARICOMP monitoring network gathered standardized data from 52 seagrass sampling stations at 22 sites (mostly Thalassia testudinum-dominated beds in reef systems) across the Wider Caribbean twice a year over the period ... -
Caribbean-wide, negative emissions solution to Sargassum spp. low-cost collection device and sustainable disposal method
(2021)Sargassum spp. blooms exacerbated by climate change and agricultural runoff are inundating Caribbean beaches, emitting toxic fumes and greenhouse gases through decomposition. This hurts tourism, artisanal fishing, shore-based ... -
Characterization of sargassum accumulated on Dominican beaches in 2021 : analysis of heavy, alkaline and alkaline-earth metals, proteins and fats
(2023)This paper presents the characterization of sargassum that reached the shores of eight Dominican beaches in 2021. The analysis of heavy, alkaline and alkaline-earth metals was performed by ICP-OES. Twelve heavy metals were ... -
Chemical defenses and resource trade-offs structure sponge communities on Caribbean coral reefs
(2014)Chemical defenses are known to protect some species from consumers, but it is often difficult to detect this advantage at the community or ecosystem levels because of the complexity of abiotic and biotic factors that ... -
Climate repercussions in the Yuna-Samana Bay estuary, Sanchez, Dominican Republic : a case study on Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) exposure to different salinity regimes
(2012)The Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica), is densely populated in estuarine areas subjected to various abiotic and biotic factors. The density of C. virginica along the Atlantic coast of U.S. has declined to 1-3% of ... -
Conservation finance for coral reefs : a Vibrant Oceans Initiative whitepaper
(2022)This whitepaper reviews a broad range of finance solutions related to coral reef conservation, including conservation trust funds, blended finance, small and medium-sized enterprises, blue carbon, blue bonds, environmental ... -
Cooperación en el Caribe ante el sargazo
(2020)Se analizan las estrategias de cooperación regional ante la creciente problemática del sargazo en el Caribe. El artículo describe cómo la proliferación del alga ha movilizado a gobiernos, organizaciones científicas y actores ... -
Coral assemblages, biofacies, and ecological zones in the mid‐Holocene reef deposits of the Enriquillo Valley, Dominican Republic
(1992)A large, subaerially exposed mid‐Holocene reef in the Enriquillo Valley (southwest Dominican Republic) provides an excellent opportunity to examine the relationship between reefal ecology and reefal deposits. Coral species ... -
Coral disease : direct and indirect agents, mechanisms of disease, and innovations for increasing resistance and resilience
(2025)As climate change drives health declines of tropical reef species, diseases are further eroding ecosystem function and habitat resilience. Coral disease impacts many areas around the world, removing some foundation species ... -
Decadal cyclicity of regional mid-Holocene precipitation : evidence from Dominican coral proxies
(2006)The stable carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) isotopic compositions of four Holocene specimens of Montastraea sp. and Siderastrea sp. coral skeletons from the Dominican Republic were analyzed to examine decadal-scale fluctuations ... -
Developing capacity for coastal management in the absence of the government : a case study in the Dominican Republic
(1997)Integrated coastal management should ideally be a government-driven process linking private-sector forces with public resources and voluntary action by NGOs and local communities in an effort to establish and implement ...
