Photographic mosaics of monthly averaged values of CZCS (Coastal Zone Color Scanner), over the Western Caribbean Sea in 1979, were used to analized the variability of the clorophyl and organic carbon content at the sea surface. The basin showed low values (< .15mg/m3) for the most part. Coastal zones had seasonal variability related to the increment and lack of river waters. The Maddalena river plume showed great influence in the basin. High values (> 1. mg/m3) to the west of the Guajira Peninsula related to the shelf break upwelling are apparent all year long. Low values in the San Andrés Archipiélago were detected permanently. The lack of high primary production in the area makes out of this a very fragil ecosystem that needs a special management.Downloads
