Graduate in Biological Sciences at Universidade de São Paulo (1993), Master's in Biological Oceanografy at Universidade de São Paulo (1996) and Ph.D. in Biological Oceanografy at Universidade de São Paulo (2002). CNPq researcher (PQ, level 2) since March 2009. Currently has a position as Assistant Lecturer at Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho, and as a researcher and PG supervisor by the Instituto de Ciências do Mar da UFC (PG em Tropical Marine Sciences). Works also as collaborator with USP, and as scientific consultant for FUNDESPA, Aplysia, CPEA and Tecnohidro. Associated to many scientific societies (ABES, SETAC, etc) and technical reviewer of many international and national journals. Has experience in Sanitary Engineering, Oceanography and Applied Ecology, focusing on Pollution Control and Environmental Management, mainly on the following subjects: coastal zone, coastal management, ecotoxicology, conservation and pollution.

After the banning of the tributyltin (TBT) as antifouling agent, many chemical compounds have been tested as active principle of anti-fouling coatings, such as the DCOIT, or Sea-Nine (4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one), which has been employed in the formulation of third generation anti-fouling paints. Nanomaterials also have been used as antimicrobial substances, especially sil…
Since the banning of tributyltin (TBT) as a biocidal agent, several compounds have been tested as active ingredients in the formulation of antifouling paints, such as DCOIT, or Sea-Nine (4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazoline -3-um), which has been used in the third generation antifouling paints. Nanomaterials have also been used as antimicrobials, especially different silver nanoparticle…
The Campus Experimental do Litoral Paulista (CLP) became a University Campus of UNESP in 2001, when Teaching, Research and Extension in Marine Biology and Coastal Management started. Eighteen researchers currently work in this campus, most of them with research projects sponsored by financial agencies, as FAPESP, CNPq, FINEP and others. Although the campus is completing 10 years age, its …
The metallic corrosion process is one of the main causes of degradation of structures and equipment in the marine environment, to which are added the problems caused by biofouling. These problems have been minimized by the application of coatings containing antifouling biocides and chemical corrosion inhibitors (CI). However, due to the toxicity associated with biocides and IC, there is i…
Corrosion is one of the main causes of degradation of metallic structures in contact with the marine environment. For this reason, corrosion inhibitors (CI), chemical additives used to slow or prevent the progress of this phenomenon in metals, are routinely applied to such structures. 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (2-MBT) is advantageous for use in structures exposed to atmospheric and aquatic …

Marine pollution has been pointed as one of the biggest warnings for the global environment. Linked to economic exploitation, one of the main examples is the oil and petrochemical industries, which are considered major polluting sources. Tropical and subtropical regions are particularly susceptible to the environmental impacts resulting from these activities, so in this sense, the possibl…
Zoanthid colonies are essential for the dynamics of rocky reefs and in the structuring of benthic communities. However, it can be affected by human activities, such as chemical pollution, sedimentation, freshwater intake, tourism activities (trampling), acidification, among others. Under stress, they can expel their zooxanthellae, when they produce reactive oxygen species, leading to blea…

The metallic corrosion process is the main cause of estructure and equipament degradation in the marine environment. This issue has been minimized by the addition of chemycal inhibitor coats, delaying the corrosion process. Although, the corrosion inhibitors (CI) available in the Market are toxic to the biota, so there is an interest in replacing these compounds to more effective and less…
Mining activities have a long history of impacting aquatic environments, such as the Doce River Basin (DRB), in Brazil. After the collapse of the Fundão dam (MG), high concentrations of metals in water and sediments from DRB were reported, and some remain above legal standards even after 4 years. Wastewater, industrial effluents, and pesticide runoff from agricultural landscapes have rele…
Nanomaterials have been widely used, specially the nanoparticles due to their use, including the new technologies about antifouling compounds. Antifouling paints possessing biocides have the purpose of preventing marine biofouling that can increase the costs of marine trsnsportation. There is still few information about the environmental hazard caused by these biocides and how their appli…
