To all -
I am traveling to Nicaragua next week to continue work on estuarine
and coral reef surveys within the Miskito Coast Reserve...a new
protected area on the northeast coast of Nicaragua. We are
collecting materials to establish a research library for the
biologists who are charged with monitoring fisheries (shrimp,
lobsters, groupers, snappers, snook, etc.) and environmental
conditions (water quality, mangrove biology, seagrass ecology, coral
monitoring,etc.) within the Reserve.
If you have any extra literature (books, reprints, reports), on
monitoring and research appropriate for this area, that you would
like to donate to this effort please mail them to me at Mote Marine
Lab. I will be traveling there on a regular schedule for the next
several months.
The northeast coast of Nicaragua, within the bounds of the MCR, has
several very large and pristine estuaries, many small to large
rivers, and many miles of completely undeveloped beaches. The
Miskito Cays area is characterized by vast beds of seagrass and a
complex reef ecosystem. Thus any papers on topics related to
tropical estuaries, seagrass communities, and reefs would be most
helpful.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Mike Marshall
