Jorge Cortés, Frank Joyce
Abstract
Abstract Initiated in 2015, the marine inventory of Área de Conservación Guanacaste (BioMar‐ACG) is rapidly advancing knowledge of biodiversity. Key aspects include synergizing with parataxonomists, barcoding specimens and making information available. After 85 years, 594 species were reported. Now, after four years, BioMar‐ACG documented 1,123 species, for a total of 1,479. Abstract in Spanish is available with online material.
