“…Coastal dune systems strongly contribute for shoreline defence and stabilization (Carter, 1991;Martínez et al, 2008), and they exhibit a very marked and peculiar dynamics translated on their biological (e.g. vegetation) and geomorphologic attributes (Feagin et al, 2005).…”

“…In proportion to their size, their continuity, and to their geomorphological conditions, the dunes play different physical and ecological-naturalistic functions (Martínez et al, 2008): 1) Within the coast's dynamic equilibrium, the dunes represent a resilience factor, which gives the system a greater ability to restore balance lost due to disturbances. These sand reserves allow natural sediment exchanges without a pronounced erosion of the coast .…”

“…El ecosistema de dunas de arena que bordea buena parte del litoral de la Península de Yucatán protege a la costa de los embates de los huracanes tropicales, forma una barrera contra el movimiento de las arenas durante tormentas y oleajes muy fuertes, y actúa como estabilizador del substrato (Martínez et al, 2004;Moreno-Casasola, 2006). Sin embargo, la vegetación de las dunas establecida en la costa frente al Golfo de México en Isla del Carmen ha sufrido una reducción importante en los últimos años, con consecuencias no cuantifi cadas, que incluyen la sustitución y fragmentación de la vegetación nativa para el cultivo de coco (Cocos nucifera), construcción de casas veraniegas, e infraestructura y construcción de carreteras (Chan et al, 2002).…”
