Study Notes

The Jesuit Missions in Guaraní Territory were a series of Christian missionary settlements established by the Jesuit Order in the 17th and 18th centuries in the Guaraní region, spanning present-day Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
The missions were founded to convert the indigenous Guaraní people to Christianity and to protect them from enslavement by European colonizers.
The Jesuit Missions were known for their unique blend of European and indigenous cultures, and their economic success, which was based on agriculture, craftsmanship, and trade.
The missions were eventually suppressed by the Spanish Crown in 1767, leading to the decline of the Jesuit presence in the region.

Subject to changing water levels due to tides, waves, and storms
High-energy environment with strong currents, tidal flows, and wave action
Includes diverse habitats such as rocky shores, sandy beaches, mudflats, and salt marshes

Beach profiles vary depending on wave energy, sediment supply, and coastal orientation
Tide pools provide a habitat for marine organisms during low tide
Salt marshes are coastal wetlands flooded by tides, providing a habitat for salt-tolerant plants and animals

Supports a wide range of plant and animal species, many of which are unique to this environment
