Isla Gorgona, enclave estratégico para los esfuerzos de conservación en el Pacífico Oriental Tropical

Abstract: Isla Gorgona, strategic enclave for conservation efforts in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. Gorgona, located in the southern zone of the Pacific Ocean of Colombia, is an insular territory at 35km in a straight line from the continental margin. Although historically this island was used in different forms, since 1984 it has been among the most important protected marine areas of the Colombian Pacific Ocean. Here we review the historical development of scientific research in Gorgona island and its importance for m… Show more

“…The amount of coral and algal cover at La Azufrada fluctuates and is influenced by sedimentation and stress; coral cover ranges between ~55 and 65% and algal cover ranges between ~29 and 37% (Zapata et al ., 2010). Monthly precipitation on the island ranges from 180 to 400 mm during the dry season (January–March), and from 550 to 750 mm during the rainy season (April–December) (Giraldo et al ., 2014). A total of 715 terrestrial plant species have been recorded on the island, and 85 algae have been identified in the coastal zone (Bula-Meyer, 1995; Giraldo et al ., 2014).…”

“…Isla Gorgona y el islote de Gorgonilla (2˚55'45"-3˚00'55" N & 78˚09'00''-78˚14'30" W) se ubican a 30 km del continente, y conforman el área insular emergida más extensa de la plataforma continental del Pacífico colombiano con una extensión de 13.7 km 2 (Giraldo, Diaz-Granados, & Gutiérez-Landázuri, 2014). En la isla se encuentran playas coralinas, arenosas y rocosas, acantilados y promontorios rocosos emergidos de origen volcánico, en los cuales predomina la roca desnuda, aunque puede haber presencia de arbustos y herbáceas.…”

“…Dentro del área de conservación delimitada para el Parque Nacional Natural Gorgona (PNNG), se encuentran las islas Gorgona y Gorgonilla (2˚ 55′ 45″-3˚ 00′ 55″ N y 78˚ 09′ 00″-78˚ 14′ 30″ W), ubicadas aproximadamente a 30 km del continente (Diaz et al, 2001;Giraldo et al, 2014a). En el extremo norte de Gorgona y alrededor de Gorgonilla se encuentran una serie de islotes y promontorios rocosos emergidos, en los cuales el Piquero Café construye sus nidos (Ospina-Álvarez, 2004;Cadena-López y Naranjo, 2010).…”
