During this period, a significant increase in the environmental quality of these coastal zones was perceived. To quantify environmental changes in the coastal zone, the variation in chlorophyll concentration and total suspended solids observed by the Sentinel-3 satellite mission, 30 days before and after the start of the quarantine, was analyzed. The results showed a decrease in the concentration of chlorophyll (&gt; 20 %) and suspended solids (&gt; 40 %) in Santa Marta and Cartagena, but no significant change in San Andrés. Although part of this reduction was linked to seasonal changes in local forces, the results suggest that environmental recovery could be a remote effect of the cessation of polluting activities in the continental territory. Thus, the Covid-19 quarantine provides a reference to observe the effects of productive and tourist activities, potentially useful to establish the carrying capacity and recovery of coastal ecosystems.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[RESUMEN Para contrarrestar la propagación de la enfermedad pandémica del Covid-19, el gobierno de Colombia decretó un periodo de cuarentena de marzo 24 a julio 1 de 2020, que obligó al cese de las actividades turísticas y al cierre de los principales destinos turísticos del Caribe colombiano: Santa Marta, Cartagena y San Andrés. Durante este periodo se percibió un incremento significativo en la calidad ambiental de estas zonas costeras. Para cuantificar los cambios ambientales en la zona costera, se analizó la variación en la concentración de la clorofila y los sólidos suspendidos totales de la misión satelital Sentinel-3, 30 días antes y después del inicio de la cuarentena. Los resultados mostraron una disminución en la concentración de clorofila (&gt; 20 %) y sólidos suspendidos (&gt; 40 %) frente a Santa Marta y Cartagena, pero ningún cambio significativo en San Andrés. Aunque parte de esta reducción estuvo vinculada a cambios estacionales en forzantes locales, los resultados sugieren que la recuperación ambiental podría ser un efecto remoto del cese de actividades contaminantes en el territorio continental. Así, la cuarentena Covid-19 proporciona un referente para observar efectos de las actividades productivas y turísticas, potencialmente útil para establecer la capacidad de carga y recuperación de ecosistemas costeros.]]></p></abstract>
