Resumen
Con el propósito de realizar el inventario de la flora vascular de la laguna El Morro, la cual es un área protegida de la Isla de Margarita, estado Nueva Esparta, Venezuela, se ubicaron tres zonas de muestreo con transectas en la periferia de la laguna, entre los meses de marzo a mayo y de octubre a diciembre de 2008. Se registraron 98 especies distribuidas en 43 familias. Las familias mejor representadas fueron Poaceae, Euphorbiaceae y Fabaceae. El biotipo dominante fue el manglar, principalmente Avicennia germinans (L.) L. y Laguncularia racemosa (L.) C. F. Gaertn. La alteración de la flora podría estar relacionada con las actividades antropogénicas, tales como el urbanismo, economía informal y turismo local.
Palabras clave: Manglar, Avicennia germinans, Laguncularia racemosa.
