  • Bananas
  • Corn
The area was also famous in prehistoric and colonial times for its high-quality cacao and later for its coffee.
  • Coffe
  • Cacao
There are forested wetlands of mangroves and cypress swamps as well as oyster and coral reefs.

  • Adjacent to the port there was a Tuna Canning plant. This started the major fleet of ships arriving at the port
Shrimp and Sharks
  • Fishing activites of shrimp boats and shark fishing boats were popular.
  • Archaeologists have uncovered evidence of human occupation, when small groups living here lived primarly on shellfish

  • Don't over fish the waters
  • When fishing for shrimp be sure to move around spots because there is a great upwelling.

The average water temp does not vary significantly over the course of the year. It remains within 2 degrees of 85 degrees F throughout. ]]> 2020-09-21 03:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/abadger21/cthsiaf257nyp294/wish/762878826 Water Depth abadger21 https://padlet.com/abadger21/cthsiaf257nyp294/wish/762879268
  • Channel
    • 16-20 ft.
    • An ocean channel is an elongated water body lying between two landmasses. This is the wide staight that leads up to the port. 
  • The cargo pier 
    • 26-30 ft. 
    • The cargo pier is the raised structure that rises above a body of water and usally juts out from its shore to be able to load and unload goods.
  • Anchorage:
    •  26-40 ft.
    • The anchorage is the body of water that is suitable for a ship to anchor in. This is why the anchorage has the deepest levels.

  • Upwelling periods lead to low temperatures which then lead to low dissolved oxygen and high nutrient concentration, as well as sandy sediments and insignificant river discharges
  • There are many large nutrient sources like, land uses and human activites, that contribute nitrogen and phorsphorus to the water. 
  • Croplands contribute by using commercial fertilizer on seven major crops, and animal manure that is recovered from confined animals.

This plate was 70 km from the middle American Trench. This plate movement causes many earthquakes, tsunamis, and seismic activity. A large earthquake in 2017 actually ruptured the subducting Cocos plate that goes beneath Mexico and Central America off shore of the port. ]]> 2020-10-22 16:23:55 UTC https://padlet.com/abadger21/cthsiaf257nyp294/wish/853197912 TEK abadger21 https://padlet.com/abadger21/cthsiaf257nyp294/wish/853393879 Traditional ecological knowledge is a cummulative body of knowledge, practices, and beliefs about the relationship between humans, local ecosystems, and culture. Near Puerto Madero in Mexico, there is a lot of tropical moist forest. I think that they would leave there as knowledge would be the fact to cut down trees and plants that weren't in great shape at the end of the dry season and burned. 


    Another thing they probably left was to start to plant corn and crops around may or the beggining of the rainy season. ]]>     2020-10-22 17:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/abadger21/cthsiaf257nyp294/wish/853393879
