Cover Story: In this study, we focused on the dynamics of the organic matter in coastal lagoons. We investigated a marine-fed lagoonal network in Cayo Coco, on the north coast of Cuba. Microbial mats and biofilms were identified as the potential sources of organic material in addition to the surrounding mangrove, soils, and suspended particulate matter (SPM). The origin and evolution of the sedimentary organic matter preserved within the lagoonal sediments were analyzed using geochemical parameters such as elemental (TOC, TN, and [C/N]atomic ratio) and isotopic (δ13Corg and δ15NTN) signals on four sedimentary cores retrieved from different locations in the lagoon, which were compared with the geochemical signatures of the potential sources.
