The Atlantic Ocean encompasses approximately 10% of the global carbonate reef area, but austral limits coral distribution within this basin are still unclear. lack area and estimates clearly hampers marine spatial planning management in several regions, especially southwestern Ocean. In significant freshwater, nutrient, terrigenous sediment inputs constrain detection subtidal features by remote sensing. Here, we describe Queimada Grande Island (QGI) (24°S). documented covers 75,000 m2...
Abstract The introduction of exotic species is one the major causes for biodiversity loss in marine environments. Introduced can change habitat complexity, impacting local communities and altering ecosystem functioning. Since 1980s, scleractinian Tubastraea coccinea Tubastraea. tagusensis (commonly known as sun corals) have been spreading south‐western Atlantic, posing a threat to ecosystems. Nowadays, these are reported from more than 3,500 km along Brazilian coast on at least 21 oil gas...
