4 december 2024 | Museu Carlos Machado - Núcleo de Stª André | 19:00 |
O Guia Prático da Flora e Fauna Marinha dos Açores / Field Guide of Azorean Marine Flora and Fauna, será apresentado no dia 4 de dezembro, pelas 19h00, no Museu Carlos Machado (Núcleo de Santo André).
Os ecossistemas marinhos dos Açores são únicos e abrigam milhares de espécies classificadas em vários filos, que vão desde os pequenos cocolitóforos até às grandes baleias, com mais de 3640 espécies registadas no Portal da Biodiversidade dos Açores. Cerca de 109 dessas espécies são endémicas dos Açores, fazendo parte do seu património natural único. Uma amostra significativa da riqueza da biodiversidade marinha nos Açores, cuja extensão total continua longe de estar completamente documentada, é apresentada neste livro.
Quatro coeditores especializados em biodiversidade marinha, Ana C. Costa, Filipe Porteiro, Gui M. Menezes e João Pedro Barreiros selecionaram e elaboraram o material que se encontra caracterizado em cada uma das fichas deste Guia Prático. Um guia profusamente ilustrado com fotografias de grande qualidade, bilingue (Português e Inglês), georreferenciado, com rigor científico e em linguagem acessível ao grande público.
O volume que agora se publica encerra, com chave de ouro, a coleção de quatro guias da natureza insular do Atlântico Norte e constitui uma homenagem ao meritório trabalho levado a cabo pela Professora da Universidade dos Açores Ana Isabel Neto, precocemente falecida em 2021.
