Project Outputs
On the first three years of the project, several outputs have been produced. Some are already available online for consultation (links below), namely a book chapter on the impact of cyclones and floods on seagrasses, two articles and four master theses.
More publications are to come, mainly on rocky shores, seagrass beds and mangroves in Príncipe Island and Mozambique.
