Marine Ecosystems
As an archipelago, the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve includes large extensions of marine ecosystems, particularly interior channels and fjords, but also including open sea. To date, research in marine ecology has focused on algae and invertebrate consumers, which have as their goal the sustainable use of these important economic resources. Currently, a new emphasis has been placed on studies that will link both terrestrial and marine ecosystems.
