Abstract:
Analysis of foraminiferal faunas in 89 sediment samples from the barrier reef and lagoon of British Honduras showed that the largest living and total foraminiferal populations are on the leeward side of mangrove and coral-sand cays in the reef tract, and in the lagoon near the mouths of rivers.
The living Foraminifera were divided into the barrier-reef-tract and lagoon faunas, reflecting the two major environments of the area. The reef-tract fauna was divided further into the main-reef, reef-margin, and reef-channel assemblages.
Temperature and salinity measurements of 41 bottom-water samples indicated a decrease in temperature and an increase in salinity from the mainland toward the barrier reef.
