Latin American Coral Reefs
by Cortes (9780444513885)

Most of the coral reefs of the American continent (the Brazilian waters, the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean) are in Latin American countries. In this title, information on coral reefs of such a vast region is mined from reports, obscure journals, university theses and scientific journals, summarized and presented in a way both accessible and informative for the interested reader as well as for the coral reef expert. The chapters of the book, divided by country and ocean, are written by either scientists from the countries or by those that know the area well. Reefs not documented in the past are described in detail here, including location maps. The natural and anthropogenic impacts affecting the reefs are presented, as well as sections on management, conservation and legislation in each country.
