3 Biological importance of the region Contrasting ecosystems: from rainforests and rivers to dry scrublands and coral reefs and mangroves Included in the Caribbean Islands Biodiversity Hotspot Economical importance of ecosystems for local economies St-Martin/ St-Maarten 2 million visitors / year Bonaire MPA surrounding the island Guadeloupe Rivers and rainforests (National Park) DV Coral reef associated recreation $ 18 million / year (NF 2010) Commercial and recreational reef fisheries $1.1 million / year (TEEB-IVM 2012) Freshwater resources 19 million / year (Hamadé et al.
