Automatic Clustering of Metocean Conditions in the Brazilian Coast

Volume 5B: Ocean Engineering; Honoring Symposium for Professor Günther F. Clauss on Hydrodynamics and Ocean Engineering, 2022
Abstract This paper introduces a pipeline that, first, assembles a dataset of metocean conditions consisting of wind, wave and surface currents, and, second, clusters this data to find the characteristic environmental conditions of each region in the Brazilian coast and the associated Exclusive Economic Zone.

Mysterious oil spill on Brazilian coast: Analysis and estimates

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021
In 2019-2020, a mysterious oil spill reached a large part of the Brazilian coast. In order to contribute to the clarification part of these mysteries involving this accident, the present study aims to estimate the initial volume spilled using the STFM (Spill, Transport and Fate Model).

Sambaquis (shell mounds) of the Brazilian coast

Quaternary International, 2011
Abstract The Brazilian shell mounds called sambaquis have been well known since the 16th century when clergy, travelers, and members of the colonial administration wrote the first narratives of Portuguese America. However, it was only during the second quarter of the 19th century that, under the orders of the Imperial Government, the first scientific

Solid waste ingestion by marine megafauna on Southeast Brazilian coast

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2023
The disparities in the ecology and behavior of marine megafauna may influence their susceptibility to solid waste ingestion; however, this relationship has been underestimated along the Brazilian coast. We analyzed a dataset of 7261 marine megafauna (45 species) necropsied to investigate the influence of their foraging strategies on solid waste ...

Diversity patterns of reef fish along the Brazilian tropical coast

Marine Environmental Research, 2020
Causal mechanisms for broad-scale reef fish diversity patterns are poorly understood and current knowledge is limited to trends of species richness. This work compared the effects of ecological drivers on components of fish diversity across reefs spanning over 2.000 km of the tropical Brazilian coastline.

Reef fisheries in Porto Seguro, eastern Brazilian coast

Fisheries Research, 2003
Abstract Fish landings in Porto Seguro, in the eastern Brazilian coast, were monitored from September 1997 to August 1999 to describe the predominant species caught, the catch per unit effort (CPUE) and patterns of yields according to depth and season. A total of 223.5 t from 352 fishing trips made by a fleet of 53 boats was monitored. The fishery is

Variability of Mangrove Ecosystems along the Brazilian Coast

Estuaries, 1990
Brazilian mangroves extend from 4°30′N to 28°30′S, varying greatly in growth form, species distribution patterns, and stand structure, in spite of a limited floristic diversity. We divided the Brazilian coastline into eight units, within which physiographic and climatic conditions are relatively uniform, and described mangrove occurrence, species ...
