Opportunistic macroalgae adjacent to amangrove bird rookery (Man-of-War Cay) on theBelize Barrier Reef were significantly enriched withphosphorus, but not nitrogen, compared to macroalgaeon an unenriched control mangrove island(Twin Cays) and two pristine coral reef lagoons (TobaccoReefand Curlew Cay). Macroalgal CN ratioswere statistically similar among all the sites,whereas macroalgae receiving guano enrichment atMan-of-War Cay had lower C:P and N:P ratioscompared to macroalgae at the unenriched sites.
