Objectivos

The main objectives are:

  • Investigate the effects of hydrothermal activity on subtidal macrobenthic communities.
  • Identify sensitive species (sentinels) to water acidification.
  • Use Corallina elongata as a model to study the effects of hydrothermal activity through the identification of biomarkers.
  • Evaluate the effects of hydrothermal activity on algae colonization and succession.
