The Invertebrates of Galeta Reef (Caribbean Panama): A Species List and Bibliography

The fringing coral reef at Galeta Point, on the Caribbean Coast of Panama, has been under intensive study for approximately ten years. The combined studies of the reef represent approximately 5,000 person hours of field sampling and have documented the presence of approximately 775 species of invertebrates. A list of these species is presented here together with annotations to all known sources of information pertaining to the occurrence of these species on Galeta Reef. For most species these records are the southernmost in the Caribbean Sea.
