Brazilian Sandy Beaches

English

More than 4000 beaches distributed along the Brazilian coastline are one of the country's main assets. They harbor endemic and diverse biota and provide numerous goods and services essential to human populations. However, they are under increasing pressure, trapped between the impacts of climate change and human activities in the terrestrial and marine environment, and the knowledge about their environmental characteristics and biodiversity is still insufficient to ensure their preservation. This book is the first-ever comprehensive work about Brazil's sandy beaches addressing their physical, ecological, and social aspects. It was written by an interdisciplinary group of leading Brazilian researchers from different regions of the country and also had the contribution of a few international experts. The information synthesized in this book is accessible to anyone who wants to know more about Brazilian coastal biodiversity and represents a significant step towards conserving Braziliansandy beaches, their biodiversity, and ecosystem services.

About

A. Cecília Z. Amaral is a Full Professor in the Biology Institute at the State University of Campinas Brazil which she joined in 1980. Her research focuses on marine benthic ecology and biodiversity and she is a world expert in the taxonomy and ecology of annelids (polychaetes). Cecília actively participated in the development of Zoology in Brazil and coordinated several multi-institutional projects such as the Assessment of the Sustainable Potential of Living Resources of the Brazilian Exclusive Economic Zone - REVIZEE / Score-Sul-Bentos; Biodiversity and Functioning of a Subtropical Coastal Ecosystem: Subsidies for Integrated Management - BIOTA/FAPESP; Biodiversity of Sandy Beaches (PROBIO); Endangered Species of Brazilian Fauna - Aquatic Invertebrates (IBAMA MMA SISBIO/ICMBio); and Consolidation of Scientific Collections of Marine Invertebrates: Strategies for Biodiversity Conservation - BIOTA/FAPESP. Helio H. Checon has a bachelors degree in Ecology (2010) from the State University of São Paulo and a masters degree (2013) and a Ph.D. in Ecology (2017) from the State University of Campinas. From 2018 to 2021 he worked as a post-doctorate researcher at the Oceanographic Institute of the University of São Paulo. Currently Helio is a research collaborator at the State University of Campinas (Brazil) and works as an environmental specialist in the management of protected areas of the municipality of Campinas Brazil.  He is also a member of the Monitoring Network for Coastal Benthic Habitats (ReBentos Brazil) and the International Association for Biological Oceanography (IABO). Helios work has focused on researching the ecological aspects of the distribution of benthic organisms in coastal and marine environments especially regarding the effects of anthropogenic disturbances aiming to provide information and shortcuts for the effective management and conservation of coastal ecosystems especially sandy beaches. Guilherme Corte is a professor at the University of the US Virgin Islands (USA) and obtained a master's degree (2011) and a Ph.D. in Ecology (2016) from the State University of Campinas (Brazil). As a marine ecologist Guilherme has investigated the coasts of North and South America the Caribbean and Australia and worked in several renowned institutions such as the State University of Campinas (Unicamp Brazil) University of Sydney (Australia) University of São Paulo (USP Brazil) Institute of Marine Research Admiral Paulo Moreira (IEAPM Brazilian Navy) and Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC USA). Guilherme's research focuses on the interface between ecological science and the management of biological resources and seeks to provide ecological knowledge to preserve manage and enhance natural resources and ecosystems.
