Arrecifes del Caribe - Planeta vivo

Arrecifes del Caribe - Planeta vivo

Abstract

La actividad humana podría acabar asfixiando los arrecifes de coral más someros del Caribe al igual que se está observando con los de más profundidad. Es lo que alerta un nuevo estudio realizado por un equipo de investigación del Instituto de Ciencias del Mar de Barcelona liderado por Blanca Figuerola y del Instituto Smithsonian de Investigaciones Tropicales. A través de la reconstrucción de las condiciones ambientales de los últimos años 2.000 años han comprobado cómo la acumulación de nutrientes y fertilizantes podría dejar las aguas someras sin oxígeno, llegando a causar la muerte de muchas especies de los arrecifes coralinos. En cambio, en los puntos de la bahía más cercanos al océano abierto, la acción de las olas reoxigena el agua. Exóticos y coloridos, los arrecifes coralinos están formados por criaturas vivientes que excretan un duro exoesqueleto de calcio. Al morir los animales, la estructura se erosiona, privando a los peces de lugares vitales de reproducción y alimentación. Científicos de todo el mundo temen las consecuencias de su desaparición. Su importancia radica en que casi la mitad de los peces que los seres humanos consumen viven alrededor de ellos, por lo que aumentaría drásticamente la hambruna, la pobreza y la inestabilidad política
