The coastal area is formed by an ecosystem complex including remnantes of Atlantic forest,  mangroves, seagrass beds and coraline reefs. These ecosystems are interconnected along the seascape over the typically carbonatic shelf, with widths around 18 nautical miles. Along the shelf, submerged channels related to continental drainage in glacial periods, and submerged reefs, form habitats responsible for supporting resources exploited by intense fishing activity. The outermost portion of the continental shelf, considered as an area of significant biological and ecological interest (EBSA), is a biodiversity hotspot, home to reef fish spawning aggregations, and higher fish yield associated with evidence of sub-surface upwellings. These seascape support complex ecological processes, subject to intense use, in an area recognized as a priority for conservation. The presence of Marine Protected Areas reflects this characteristic, both for the need to protect these environments, and for the socio-economic importance, with two protected areas for sustainable use (APAs) and one for Integrated Protection (Park), organized in mosaic.","citation":null,"relatedIdentifiers":null,"status":{"label":"Operational","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/elter_cl\/10772"},"yearEstablished":1997,"yearClosed":null,"relatedSites":null,"siteName":"Tamandar\u00e9 Coastal-Marine Complex, APA Costa dos Corais","shortName":"TAMS","siteType":"Stationary land-based site","protectionLevel":null,"landUse":null,"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/photos\/tamandare-coastal-marine-complex-apa-costa-dos-corais-brazil_4677.jpg","alt":"Coastal Reefs of Tamandar\u00e9, Pernambuco State, Brazil."}]},"environmentalCharacteristics":{"airTemperature":{"yearlyAverage":25.5,"monthlyAverage":null,"unit":"\u00b0C","referencePeriod":null},"precipitation":{"yearlyAverage":2417,"monthlyAverage":null,"unit":"mm","referencePeriod":null},"biogeographicalRegion":null,"biome":"marine","ecosystemType":[{"label":"Coastal","uri":null},{"label":"Marine","uri":null},{"label":"Tropical coral","uri":null}],"eunisHabitat":[{"label":"Bentho-pelagic habitats (X30)","uri":null},{"label":"Habitat complexes (X)","uri":null},{"label":"Littoral biogenic reefs (A2.7)","uri":null},{"label":"Littoral sediment (A2)","uri":null},{"label":"Marine habitats (A)","uri":null}],"landforms":null,"geoBonBiome":["Marine","Coastal"],"geology":null,"hydrology":null,"soils":null,"vegetation":null},"geographic":{"boundaries":"POLYGON ((-35.143327105706 -8.893654926035, -35.198292654941 -8.8747382110387, -35.139278056227 -8.6696762615562, -35.075508501271 -8.5764013901277, -34.739814142569 -8.6728171500839, -34.748439688715 -8.7056537119644, -34.754150395129 -8.7251652922122, -34.758433424939 -8.741821519253, -34.763668239152 -8.7651402371101, -34.768903053365 -8.7870312783638, -34.772234298773 -8.805115182008, -34.77889678959 -8.8360481750838, -34.788890525814 -8.873643658976, -34.800311938642 -8.9074320052587, -34.806498537257 -8.9359855373287, -34.817919950085 -8.9593042551859, -34.825296279203 -8.9792917276349, -35.143327105706 -8.893654926035))","coordinates":"POINT (-35.091 -8.771)","country":["Brazil"],"elevation":{"avg":-20,"min":-100,"max":10,"unit":"msl"},"size":{"value":216574,"unit":"ha"},"relatedLocations":null},"focusDesignScale":{"experiments":{"design":null,"scale":"micro sites"},"observations":{"design":"mainly observation","scale":"plot within catchment"},"observedProperties":[{"label":"abiotic heterogeneity","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/21476"},{"label":"current direction","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/30026"},{"label":"diversity index","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/21513"},{"label":"ecosystem parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/20939"},{"label":"ecosystem structure","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/21475"},{"label":"faunistic diversity","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/22119"},{"label":"floristic diversity","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/22122"},{"label":"secchi depth","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/22226"},{"label":"species abundance","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/10018"},{"label":"species richness","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/22287"},{"label":"water depth","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/22310"},{"label":"water parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/20945"},{"label":"water temperature","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/22313"}]},"infrastructure":{"accessibleAllYear":true,"accessType":"boat","allPartsAccessible":false,"maintenanceInterval":null,"permanentPowerSupply":true,"operation":{"permanent":true,"notes":null,"siteVisitInterval":null},"notes":null,"collection":null,"data":{"policy":{"url":null,"rights":null,"notes":null}}},"relatedResources":null,"projectRelated":{"lter":{"lterSiteClassification":"Regular Site"}}}}
