Sentinels of the Sea Project
Our aim in this project is to understand how cumulative human impacts affect marine megafauna species in Sepetiba and Ilha Grande bays
with our published works
We work directly in critical areas for marine biodiversity.

The Green Coast Porpoise Project, led by ECoMAR/UFRJ, has been monitoring the gray dolphin populations in Sepetiba and Ilha Grande bays since 1994, investigating the impacts of human activities on their habitat and ecology.
The Sentinels of the Sea project, led by ECoMAR/UFRJ, uses a combination of state-of-the-art methods and equipment to better understand animals that are difficult to see. In the project we use Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (also called Drones), to better understand the behavior and body condition of species, satellite and archival transmitters, to understand the movements and underwater behavior of species and remote biopsies, which allow genetic identification of sex, contaminants, hormone dosage and stable isotopes.
