Description
Besides the coastline, the continental shelf is one of the most impacted marine habitats along the Brazilian coast. Not only fisheries but also oil and gas industries, shipping, and litter represent important threats to the marine biodiversity. Different geomorphological structures comprise the seascape that harbors not only a huge biodiversity, but also important regulating services.
