“…The north, central, and south coasts of the Peruvian littoral show a series of marine-coastal, continental, and artificial wetlands, which are part of marine, desertic, and urban spaces (Jimenez et al, 2010), located between the 3 and 18º south latitudes. The extension of mangroves (Charcape-Ravelo and Moutarde, 2005;Cabanillas et al,2016), lagoons (Díaz et al, 2021), and swamps (Ramirez and Cano, 2010) is just an example of the types of coastal wetlands, which are characterized by the biological and phylogenetic richness they harbor (Gonzales and Aponte, 2022). The relevance of these ecosystems allows conducting an analysis of the scientific production for the 2000-2020 period, taking estuaries and mangroves with scientific reports as continental coastal wetlands, and using the list of coastal wetlands known in this region as a reference, which are reported in the Atlas of the wetlands of the Pacific Coast (humedalescosteros.org).…”
