Abstract
⺠Sea-level rise was not uniform in the Colombian Caribbean during the Holocene. ⺠Rapid sea-level rise and lagoon formation were recorded during early Holocene. ⺠Mid-Holocene stabilized sea levels and high precipitation allowed mangroves to expand. ⺠Avicennia dominance and a regional drought were recorded between 2850 and 2450 BP. ⺠Current marine transgression is causing both mangrove diminution and expansion.
