The shallow Yucatan coast (SYC) presents a high seascape complexity. This complexity reflects the impact human activities have had in the SYC. Coastal habitats occur as bands parallel to the coastline at a gradual transition. Three of the seven habitats are proposed as conservation-priority areas. Spatial and seascape analysis jointly help the management of marine ecosystems.
