The sixth PELD ILOC (Long-Term Monitoring of the Brazilian Oceanic Islands) expedition to Fernando de Noronha  Archipelago took place between October 20th and 31st, 2018 and was attended by the researchers Carlos Eduardo Leite Ferreira (UFF/LECAR), Sergio Floeter (UFSC/LBMM), Julia Biscaia Zamoner (UFSC/LABAR), Mariana Teschima (UFRJ), Ronaldo Bastos Francini-Filho (UFPB), Guilherme Ortigara Longo (UFRN/LECOM) and Thayná Mello (ICMBio-Fernando de Noronha). During the 12 days at the archipelago, which is located 200 miles from Brazilian northeast coast, the researchers carried out activities related to the annual monitoring of reef fish assemblage (visual censuses), benthic community structure(photo-quadrats), health status of Siderastrea and Montastraea colonies (photo-quadrats and, for Siderastrea, filming for 3D modelling) and population structure of Grapsus grapsus, besides the setup of seawater temperature sensors. Activities of other researchers associated to the project were also developed, such as the collection of corals for studies of zooxanthellae – microalgae that inhabit the colonies, providing them food and being responsible for their different colours -, as well as the placing of information signs for the De Olho Nos Corais project. The good weather and sea conditions, the excellent teamwork and support of ICMBio and diver operators resulted in a successful expedition, full of hard work, discussions and learning! Natural beauties, both into and out of the water, as always, made the expedition even more incredible! We’re just ready for the next one!
