Abstract
Communities of sabellariid worms (Polychaeta) occur as areally discontinuous, unlithified reefs on an irregular depositional topography of Holocene and older sediments at the mouth of the Northern River Lagoon, Belize, Central America. They are found in nearshore marine, moderate energy, tidally influenced environments of normal to low salinity. These colonies, as much as 30 cm thick, are composed of dense thickets of agglutinated worm tubes (1.0 mm diameter, 3.0 cm length) that trap and bind sand- to silt-sized bioclastic debris, microorganisms, and micrite
