Ene, 14 2015 Dear Clients UPDATED: ENE, 14 2015 DEAR CLIENTS VENEZUELA is a country with an impressive variety of sceneries. Due to both the ecological and scenic importance over 20% of the territory is protected under different laws as National Parks. In many of these Parks and private Natural Reserves, an important infrastructure of camps and guesthouses have been developed offering ecotourism and adventure programs. Canaima, Gran Sabana and Angel Falls, Orinoko Delta, Los Roques, Morrocoy, Amazonas, Los Llanos and Merida constitute exceptional destinations for tourism and nature lovers. Margarita Island and Puerto La Cruz offers the options of sea and beaches for relaxation and fun along with restaurants, discotheques, shops and excursions. In this Handbook of Services for 2013 Maloka we present a wide selection of camps, guest houses and hotels at our main ecotourism and beach destinations in addition to hotels and services in our principal cities. We are sure that these can be combined to offer your individual and group passengers an excellent and varied travel program.

With just over 620,000 inhabitants, Margarita shows marked contrasts between Porlamar, the commercial capital of the island, with its modern malls and Duty Free stores, and the small towns along the coast where we still find traditional architecture, where the traditional lifestyle has changed very little over the last century or two.

    ISSN 0738-9388 247 Volume: 49 THE FESTIVUS ISSUE 3 Marine boring bivalve mollusks from Isla Margarita, Venezuela Marcel Velásquez 1 1 Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Sorbonne Universites, 43 Rue Cuvier, F-75231 Paris, France; [email protected] Paul Valentich-Scott 2 2 Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, Santa Barbara, California, 93105, USA; [email protected] Juan Carlos Capelo 3 3 Estación de Investigaciones Marinas de Margarita. Fundación La Salle de Ciencias Naturales. Apartado 144 Porlama,. Isla de Margarita, Venezuela. ABSTRACT Marine endolithic and wood-boring bivalve mollusks living in rocks, corals, wood, and shells were surveyed on the Caribbean coast of Venezuela at Isla Margarita between 2004 and 2008. These surveys were supplemented with boring mollusk data from malacological collections in Venezuelan museums. A total of 571 individuals, corresponding to 3 orders, 4 families, 15 genera, and 20 species were identified and analyzed. The species with the widest distribution were: Leiosolenus aristatus which was found in 14 of the 24 localities, followed by Leiosolenus bisulcatus and Choristodon robustus, found in eight and six localities, respectively. The remaining species had low densities in the region, being collected in only one to four of the localities sampled. The total number of species reported here represents 68% of the boring mollusks that have been documented in Venezuelan coastal waters. This study represents the first work focused exclusively on the examination of the cryptofaunal mollusks of Isla Margarita, Venezuela. KEY WORDS Shipworms, cryptofauna, Teredinidae, Pholadidae, Gastrochaenidae, Mytilidae, Petricolidae, Margarita Island, Isla Margarita Venezuela, boring bivalves, endolithic. INTRODUCTION The lithophagans (Mytilidae) are among the Bivalve mollusks from a range of families have more recognized boring mollusks.

    Maracaibo, domingo, 13 de noviembre de 2016 REVISTA TURÍSTICA MARGARITA, ENTRE AZULES E HISTORIAS 03, 04 y 05 02 LA MÁGICA ISLA l sudeste del Mar Caribe, al oriente de una anঞ gua capitanía, Venezuela, separada por apenas 27 kilómetros desde Chacopata –península de Paria– hasta cerca de la playa El Yaque, fl ota sobre las aguas ঞ bias y ricas, una perla: la isla de Margarita, junto con sus dos hermanas Cubagua y Coche. A Islas inconquistables, rebeldes, llenas de vida natural, disponibles para las miradas curiosas que buscan la belleza en los detalles recónditos. Tierras que por estar rodeadas de agua debieron crecer desde sus entrañas pagando el precio de la devastación de sus recursos: las perlas. Este magnífi co territorio que conserva delicadamente su historia y arquitectura de la conquista, cuida como puede las ruinas, sumergidas por un maremoto, suscitado en 1541, en la villa de Nueva Cádiz. Se hace visible en la herencia de un pirata, Luis de Aguirre, quien dejó su huella en El Tirano, además de dejar volar la imaginación a los ঞ empos de la batalla naval contra los españoles frente a la playa El Yaque. Es de verdad una joya que ofrece casi tocar a los caballitos y estrellas de mar, observar de cerca las langostas, asombrarse con sus peces que nadan dóciles alrededor de los botes en la laguna de La Resঞ nga –por ejemplo– y admirar sus atardeceres en Juan Griego y su fastuosidad desde las alturas del Cerro Copey. Margarita, dócil para quien la ama caminando sus ঞ erras, navegando sus aguas, corriendo sus olas, surcando sus corrientes de aire, buceando sus profundidades, viviéndola a todo pulmón, y liberándola en los sueños de cada uno.

Robison Rd. Texarkana, TX 75505-5518 Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT In the early sixteenth century, the area that today comprises eastern Venezuela and its offshore islands enriched Spain with pearls, supplied Spanish colonists with Indian slaves, and generated high hopes of finding interior civilisations rich in gold. However, the prosperity of Spanish colonies in this region (called the Pearl Coast) proved tragically short-lived, lasting less than two decades. Using Garrett Hardin’s concept of the ‘tragedy of the commons’, this article examines Spanish overexploitation of both the oyster beds around the island of Cubagua and the native peoples along the mainland by competing groups of Spaniards. Building upon the works of historians such as Pablo Ojer and Enrique Otte, and utilising archival research and Otte’s seldom-used compilations of primary documents, this article analyses the dramatic but little-known history of the Pearl Coast, where damage to the environment went hand in hand with the enslavement and decimation of native populations.

    Field Guidebook I G C P 5 4 6 Subduction zones of the Caribbean Subduction/accretion-related high-pressure rocks of Margarita Island, Venezuela November 11-15, 2010 Walter V. Maresch (Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany) Franco Urbani (FUNVISIS and Universidad Central de Venezuela) Hans-Peter Schertl (Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany) Klaus P. Stanek (TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany) This guide has been prepared for the sole and private use of participants of the UNESCO-sponsored field trip “Subduction/accretion-related high-pressure rocks of Margarita Island, Venezuela” 2 Introduction The metamorphic rocks of Margarita Island, Venezuela, have been studied and their significance debated for more than 60 years. As paradigms in the Geosciences changed, ideas guiding tectonic and geodynamic interpretations also changed. A survey of the literature on this fascinating island shows shifts from "fixist" ideas and application of classical stratigraphic nomenclature to highly metamorphosed and deformed rocks, through to interpretations calling on extreme nappe development from a classical Alpine viewpoint. Recent discussions on the origin and evolution of the Caribbean Plate, aptly summarized in an impressive compendium of 31 papers edited by James et al. (2009), underscore that understanding the geology of Margarita Island is a key element in understanding the timing and nature of interaction of the Caribbean plate with northern South America. This field-trip, under the auspices of IUGS-UNESCO IGCP PROJECT 546 “Subduction Zones of the Caribbean”, is intended to present a hands-on overview of the rocks involved in order to allow experts from other parts of the Caribbean to “get their own picture”. Needless to say, the literature that has accumulated in 60 years is immense.
