An Estimation of the Possible Migration Path of the Pacific Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) Along the Northern Coast of Patagonia

Expansion of Magallana Gigas Colonization: Northernmost and Southernmost Invasion on Saltmarsh Ecosystems in the SW Atlantic

“…This knowledge will enable the prediction of new dynamics and the improvement of management strategies, especially considering that many species inhabiting these habitats may be negatively affected. The loss of stability in saltmarshes, crucial for coastal defense, nurseries, and carbon storage, is a potential consequence that should be taken into account [53,54].…”

Cambios morfodinámicos de las playas condicionadas por la fluctuación holocena del nivel del mar: Playas mesomareales del Norte de la Patagonia

“…Similar variations are expected regarding maximum wave heights. The breaker wave heights also increase from 0.59 m at Anegada Bay to 0.94 m at Segunda Barranca lighthouse, and decreasing to breaker heights of 0.80 m towards La Lobería (Worner et al, 2019). Wave heights diminish significantly within the gulf as fetchs are more restricted (Isla et al, 2006).…”

“…Some of the surveyed beaches are subject to open-ocean waves (La Chiquita, Faro Segunda Barranca, Siete de Marzo, El Cóndor) while others are located within bays or gulfs (Pocitos, Baliza San Matías and Las Grutas). According to simulations of deep-water waves (1981-2012 interval), waves from the west dominate (44.5%; 15.2% from the SW, 16.7% from the W and 12.6% from the NW; Worner et al, 2019). Offshore wave height increases from 0.72 m in front of Anegada Bay to 1.26 m offshore Segunda Barranca.…”
