Lastly, coastal sites that were significantly different on a given island were analyzed using SIMPER to list the Refametinib that contribute to differences between the sites (e.g. what coastal plants are likely to be found at sites with low coastal impact ranks as compared to sites with high or severe coastal impacts?).
3. Results
The survey focused on coastal environments throughout the archipelago primarily impacted by human settlements since 1940. The surveyed sites included both private and public ownership, and all survey sites were within 1 km of road access. Thus, the surveys reflect island-specific patterns of coastal environment use throughout the country. Other than the two islands (Great Exuma and Great Guana Cay) selected for repeated sampling, most islands were visited during a single year, with the exception of Great Inagua. Great Inagua is a very large island, with unique vegetation plasmolysis required two field seasons to survey. Fig. 1 illustrates the spatial extent of the survey sites in the central Bahamas (Fig. 1A), details of site locations on Great Exuma (Fig. 1B) and Inagua (Fig. 1C). A master list of all sites with the coastal characterization and ranking is given in Appendix 1.
