Nossos costões rochosos também podem ser chamados de recifes rochosos e abrigam um delicado e importante ecossistema para o nosso Oceano, que está ameaçado pela atividades humanas. #DiaMundialDosRecifes #WorldReefAwarenessDay

Excited to share our new paper! PhotoID reveals sea turtle spatiotemporal distribution 🐢📷
New paper published: Combining social media citizen science capture, we identifed 174 green turtle & 32 hawksbill turtles in SW Atlantic rocky reefs. Turtles reside in the area for at least 6 years. Neves‑Ferreira et al. Marine Biology doi.org/10.1007/s00227-023-0… @lecar_uff

The Red Squirrelfish (Sargocentrum hastatum) is common at all depths here in Cape Verde, and it's also found along the African coast and islands south to Angola. They aggregate in caves during the day and spread out to feed on benthic invertebrates at night. #ichthyology
