“…Nutrient enrichment of coastal waters due to coastal development may be one of the main factors driving the high abundance of fleshy macroalgae, as has been reported for reefs in other regions of the Caribbean [3,[55][56][57][58]. In Cahuita, average nitrite concentrations were higher in 2017-2018 than in 2005-2004 and 1997, reflecting an increased nitrogen loading [59][60][61].…”

“…The integration of stable isotopes, DNAmetabarcoding, both eukaryotic and prokaryotic, has revolutionized ecological studies with echinoderms, providing valuable insights into their trophic interactions, biodiversity, and microbial associations. Stable isotopes have been instrumental in unraveling the trophic ecology of echinoderms, shedding light on their feeding habits, diet preferences, and ecological roles within marine ecosystems (González-De Zayas et al, 2020;Hobson, 2023). DNA-metabarcoding has transformed the way we assess echinoderm biodiversity, allowing for efficient species identification and revealing hidden diversity and community dynamics (Leray et al, 2013;Sinniger et al, 2016).…”

“…additional ocean-based observation and concern coming out from the surveys included the illegal dumping of waste by cruise ships, cargo, fishing vessels and pleasure crafts e.g., yachts. Given the islands' sensitive and fragile marine ecosystems (Allen, 1992;Fanning et al, 2011;Gonzaĺez-De Zayas et al, 2020) and the heavy maritime traffic (Heenehan et al, 2019) this is a cause for concern. In 1991, The Windward Islands and the Caribbean at large were designated a Special Area with restrictions under MARPOL Annex V in 1991.…”
