- Training manual for seagrass monitoring and management in the RAMPAO countriesPublication . Barrena de los Santos, Carmen; de la Hoz Schilling, Carolina; Queiroga, Henrique; Ahmed, Mohamed; Araújo, António; Frade, Duarte; Martins, Samir; Barri, Iça; Bandeira, Salomão; Failler, Pierre; Serrao, Ester A.; Santos, Carmen B. de los; Queiroga, Henrique; Cheikh, Sidi; Araújo, António; Serrão, EsterThis training manual aims to improve knowledge, raise awareness, and provide appropriate working tools to managers and other users of MPAs in the RAMPAO network for the protection and conservation of seagrass habitats. Its preparation used a participatory approach, through consultation with MPA managers and other conservation stakeholders from seven RAMPAO member countries (Cabo Verde, The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Mauritania, Senegal and Sierra Leone), with the aim of identifying their capacity building needs and gaining a better understanding of the threats facing seagrass beds in West Africa.
- Applying ecohydrology to promote a nature-based solutionPublication . Teodosio, Maria; Faria, Silvana; Baptista, Vânia; Wolanski, EricThis chapter aims to develop an ecohydrological modelling approach to propose an environmental engineering solution based on historical nature-based information to alleviate the severe water degradation problem within Luanda Bay, Angola. This solution would improve local communities' ecosystem health and quality of life. The model suggests a simple and practical solution to solving the pollution problem by opening a cut from the bay's shallows to the sea. This will essentially reproduce an old bay opening to the sea, which was filled early in the last century. The residence time of water in the shallows of Luanda Bay would be reduced to about one week by excavating the channel over the land is straightforward. This should return the system to a more natural state and improve the water quality for recreational activities, increase the quality of marine food resources, reduce toxic algae blooms, and improve the quality of life of people in the area. Nevertheless, preventing pollutants from reaching Luanda Bay is the only long-term solution to restore a healthy environment in Luanda Bay
- Lifespan, health and metabolic diseases. Book of abstracts, IX-SPB Clinical Biochemistry WorkshopPublication . Manuel, Aureliano; Simão, Márcio; Ferreira, Bibiana; Coelho, Ana Luísa; Simão, Sónia; Costa, Ana; Antunes, Célia; Cancela, LeonorThe IX Clinical Biochemistry Workshop (IX-CBW) was held on January 26, 2024, at the University of Algarve (UAlg), Faro, within the scope of the Clinical Biochemistry thematic group of the Portuguese Society of Biochemistry (SPB). It was the second time in 14 years that this important Workshop on Clinical Biochemistry will be held in Faro, after the IV edition (2010), chaired by Professor Aureliano Alves. The IX Clinical Biochemistry Workshop follows previous successful Clinical Biochemistry symposia held in Porto (2003, 2006, 2008, 2016), Faro (2010), Coimbra (2012), Lisbon (2014), and Évora (2018). This interdisciplinary event aims to bring together researchers from the scientific community who enhance the interaction between Biochemistry and Clinics to present their most recent discoveries on topics such as aging, health and metabolic diseases with an emphasis on neurological, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, among other pathologies. However, historically, this Workshop has had a high percentage of undergraduate, master's and doctoral students as participants, reflecting the interest that the event has had in scientists of the future. Students from various degrees, masters and doctorates, as well as researchers and teachers, are therefore invited to participate in the IX Clinical Biochemistry Workshop, in the simple city of Faro, where it is good to live, study and to do research! Share with us your latest research to a committed scientific community, which has shared and promoted these Workshops in this 21st century. The excellent quality expected from the presenters and their research will certainly serve as an innovative reference for the coming decades, allowing for a broader application of Clinical Biochemistry in various fields as well as promoting the quality of life of future generations.
- Relatório Científico I: Avaliação dos ecossistemas de carbono azul em Portugal continental.Publication . Santos, Rui; Ito, Paula; de los Santos, Carmen B.Por ocasião da Conferência do Oceano das Nações Unidas, que decorreu em Lisboa em junho de 2022, a Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian lançou o projeto Gulbenkian Carbono Azul, em parceria com o Centro de Ciências do Mar (CCMAR) da Universidade do Algarve e a Associação Natureza Portugal em associação com a WWF – World Wide Fund for Nature (ANP|WWF), com o objetivo de investigar as informações disponíveis para mapear os ecossistemas marinhos e costeiros em Portugal continental que têm o potencial de sequestrar dióxido de carbono da atmosfera – os ecossistemas de carbono azul. Esta investigação científica, feita de norte a sul do país, caracteriza os ecossistemas (localização, áreas de distribuição, estado ambiental, reservas e taxas de sequestro de carbono, entre outras características) e propõe medidas adequadas de proteção e restauro.

Visa, assim, aumentar a capacidade de os pescadores enfrentarem os desafios das mudanças climáticas. A capacidade de tolerar as alterações futuras, que o meio marinho irá sofrer, e o seu impacto nos recursos pesqueiros, só poderá ser assegurada se a pesca se basear nos princípios de uma exploração sustentável e ecológica.
- Vulnerability of marine species to low oxygen under climate changePublication . Shi, Zhiyuan; Assis, Jorge; Costello, Mark JohnIn recent decades, the ocean is becoming less oxygenated due to the combined effect of global warming and the spread of coastal eutrophication, with extensive consequences to marine ecosystems. Past mass extinctions were at least in part due to anoxic conditions in the oceans. Thus, we should be concerned about ongoing and projected declining availability of well-oxygenated habitats in the oceans. Tolerance to low oxygen is greater in smaller than larger, and less mobile than mobile taxa. The most vulnerable taxa to low oxygen are large active fish, and the least include mussels, hydrozoans, and jellyfishes. Climate change is thus likely to causes shifts in the relative abundance of species due to oxygen constraints.

- Advances in comparative endocrinologyPublication . Guerreiro, Pedro Miguel; Cardoso, João C.This is the 10th volume of Advances in Comparative Endocrinology, a series of books that collect the communications presented at the congresses of the Iberian Association for Comparative Endocrinology (AIEC). This round number marks roughly 20 years since the foundation of AIEC and the beginning of the biennial meetings organized by AIEC affiliated groups. In 2005, our Comparative Endocrinology and Integrative Biology group CEIB-CCMAR organized the 5th AIEC meeting and it was a pleasure to welcome the 12th AIEC Congress back again to Faro, Portugal, in 2019 (26-28 September). Volume X includes contributions resulting from plenary, keynote, oral or poster presentations, and authored by almost 150 senior or young scientists and students, which show the latest advances in the fields of reproduction, energy metabolism, genomics, evolution, stress, immune response and growth in both vertebrates and invertebrates. Studies range from fundamental questions on endocrinology to environmental challenges, animal production and welfare, or the mechanisms of disease, and reach beyond the Iberian borders. In addition to Portugal and Spain, the science presented here comes from institutions in Canada, Chile, France, Norway and USA. About 30% of the communications result from international cooperation, and over 55% were direct collaborations between institutions. AIEC aims to promote collaborations and its congresses are a privileged stage for networking.
