Abstract
Objective: To identify the types of vegetation and flora in three lagoons that show great promise as sites for alternative, while simultaneously offering ample opportunity for ecological preservation. Methods: the study was undertaken between 2011 and 2012, in Guerrero Lagoon, Chile Verde Lagoon, and El Creek (which is the extreme north of Bacalar Lagoon, where field trips by boat and walking along the river bank field trips, were carried out; plant species were collected and ecological data were recorded. Species were identified in the regional herbaria, type of vegetation were identified, and information were analyzed. Results: this study has documented the presence of seven types of vegetation in and near the water bodies and more than 50 plant species including small plants, bushes, and trees, and the importance of ecological and tourist information is highlighted. Conclusions: The hydrophytic vegetation of the sites, is still conservated, because they are areas subject to flooding, and then they are unsuitable for the development of productive activities; however, it is necessary to start a conservation program in order to keep the conservation state and therefore, this area could preserved and may be useful to a low impact ecotourism use.
