The value and limitations of local ecological knowledge: Longitudinal and retrospective assessment of flagship species in Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica
Monitoreo de especies
Metodologías de monitoreoAnthropogenic activities and climate change are affecting marine ecosystemsworld-wide, but systematic biodiversity assessments through periodic biomoni-toring can be challenging and costly. Local ecological knowledge (LEK), obtainedfrom experienced residents, can complement other approaches and provide im -proved understanding of the conservation status of marine areas. Here we explorethe value and limitations of LEK to assess the status of several flagship species oftourism interest: cetaceans, sea turtles, whale sharks and sea snakes in a uniquetropical fiord and biodiversity hotspot, Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica.
