Life at sea: diving in the Mar del Plata coastAbstract
The book introduces the reader to the fascinating marine life of the Mar del Plata sublittoral marine ecosystems. The rocky outcrops of the region, considered of great environmental and biogeographic interest, extend several miles seawards and constitute the largest hard substrates in the zone. Although in nautical charts the area is referred to as continuous, it is, in fact, a series of isolated outcrops with different physiognomy and faunal composition well known by fishermen and sports divers who refer to them as restingas and bancos. Found there, besides, are the "James Clunies" shipwreck remains and a submarine park formed with the sinking of the vessel "Cristo Rey" that constitute an interesting site for divers. In the text information about the marine organisms that inhabit the area is provided. The clear descriptions of flora and fauna are illustrated with underwater photographs that allow to recognize them. The biologic and ecologic information provided leads to a better understanding of marine life and the ways marine organisms interact with each other and with the physical environment they are surrounded by.El libro introduce al lector en la fascinante vida marina que caracteriza los ecosistemas sublitorales de Mar del Plata. Los afloramientos rocosos de la región, considerada de gran interés ambiental y biogeográfico, se internan varias millas mar adentro y constituyen los sustratos duros más extensos de la zona. A pesar de que en las cartas náuticas se indica al área como una única zona rocosa, se trata, en realidad, de un grupo de afloramientos aislados con distintas fisonomías y composición faunística bien conocidos por los pescadores y buzos deportivos que se refieren a ellos como restingas y bancos. Allí se encuentran, además, los restos del naufragio del buque inglés""James Clunies" y un parque submarino que se formó con el hundimiento del dragaminas "Cristo Rey" que constituyen sitios de gran interés para los buzos. En el texto se brinda información sobre los organismos marinos que habitan el área. Las claras descripciones de la flora y fauna se ilustran con fotografías subacuáticas que permiten reconocerlos. La información biológica y ecológica que se proporciona facilita una mejor comprensión de la vida marina y de las formas en que los organismos se relacionan entre sí y con el medio físico que los rodea.
