VALERIO GONZALEZ, Lorelys; GARCIA GONZALEZ, Uraima; LEVY, Sara  e  LACABANA, Pablo. FLORÍSTIC INVENTORY OF VASCULAR PLANTS OF EL MORRO COASTAL LAGOON, MARGARITA ISLAND, NUEVA ESPARTA STATE, VENEZUELA. Saber [online]. 2013, vol.25, n.2, pp.152-159. ISSN 1315-0162.

With the purpose to make a floristic inventory of El Morro Lagoon, which is a protected area of Margarita Island,  three  zones  were  sampled  with  transects  bordering  the  lagoon,  between  the  months  March  and  May and from October to December 2008. At least, 98 species were recorded, distributed in 43 families. The best represented families were Poaceae, Fabaceae and Euphorbiaceae. Mangrove is the dominating biotope, mainly Avicennia germinans (L.) L. and Laguncularia racemosa (L.) C. F. Gaertn. The alteration of flora could be related to anthropogenic activities, such as urbanism, informal economy and local tourism.

Palavras-chave : Mangrove; Avicennia germinans; Laguncularia racemosa.
