4th field campaign to Santo Antão

During June 2023, Universidade de Aveiro/CESAM - Centro de Estudos do Ambiente e do Mar in collaboration with BIOSFERA Cabo Verde and Project Biodiversity focused on characterizing benthic communities and their relation to environmental characteristics in the eastern area of Santo Antão.

During July, Underwater Experience and Universidade de Aveiro/CESAM - Centro de Estudos do Ambiente e do Mar focused on characterising the different habitats around Santo Antão deeper than 30 m. For that, different fishermen communities help us to use closed circuit rebreathers all around the island.

We found completely different types of habitats. Have a look at the pictures and videos below :
