After a 64-days expedition on remote Ilha de Trindade (1,100 km east of Vitória / ES), Cesar Cordeiro and Linda Eggertsen members of LECAR with two UFSC researchers (Luisa Fagundes and Thais Macedo) returned to the continent. The expedition is part of the PELD-ILOC Project that carries out the ecological monitoring of the Brazilian oceanic islands. In addition, other activities of research associated with the project were carried out, including the collection of organisms and macroalgae that will be used in the bioprospecting of compounds of medical and pharmaceutical importance. Despite some difficulties were faced by the team due to bad sea conditions and technical problems, the expedition was concluded with a positive balance, counting on the support of the Brazilian Navy during the research activities on the island and in the transfer of the researchers.
