The North Patagonian Gulfs marine ecoregion covers the bays and offshore shelf of a portion of the southern coast of Argentina. The entire ecoregion is on the Patagonian Shelf, The ecoregion is part of the Magellanic marine province. It is thus part of the Temperate South America realm. [1] [2] [3].
Physical setting
The northern border of the ecoregion, at 41°S, reaches out for 260 miles into the Atlantic Ocean from the mouth of Río Negro (Argentina). The ecoregion is bounded on the south at 47°S at the southern point of San Jorge Gulf. In between are 1,890 coastal miles. The bordering coast is generally _____, and characterized by Bahia coastal forests ecoregion, and mangrove forests of the Bahia mangroves ecoregion[4]. The major rivers feeding the _________ marine region include the _____ rivers.
The continental shelf along this coast of Brazil extends about ___ miles out to sea in the north and south, but ___ miles in the middle.
Currents and climate
The Atlantic South Equatorial Current (SEC) flows directly into the ecoregion from the East, bringing warm water from the South Atlantic Ocean[5]. As the SEC approaches the eastern point of Brazil at Cape São Roque, it splits, with the North Brazil Current (NBC) flowing along the coast to the north and west, and the Brazil Current flowing south along the eastern coast[6]. The Brazil Current is a western boundary current, flowing at a rate averaging 4 Sverdrups (Sv), at a mean speed of 60–100 centimetres per second (1.3–2.2 mph). Surface temperatures range from 22–28.5 °C (71.6–83.3 °F).
