Natural history of Pearl Lagoon
Keywords:
Ecosystem, Human settlement, Natural resources, Pearl Lago, Property rights, Resource useAbstract
“The Natural History of Pearl Lagoon” is the first scientific article published to date that presents a comprehensive approach to this beautiful area of the RAAS characterized by its ethnic diversity and its complex and delicate biodiversity. The importance of this article lies in the fact that it is the product of an investigation carried out in the Pearl Lagoon watershed, which seeks to ensure community participation in the articulation of a management plan for this watershed. By documenting this process of formation of Pearl Lagoon and its current situation, the authors make available to Nicaraguan university students, especially coastal students, a valuable information base.
