The aim of this book series is to disseminate information to the coastal research community.
The Series covers all aspects of coastal research including but not limited to relevant …

Chattian mixed carbonate-siliciclastic deposits from two palaeogeographic units of Southern
Alps, the Lessini Shelf and Venetian foreland basin of northeast Italy, are studied with …

Rhodoliths are the main hard substrata for the attachment of benthic macroalgae in the NW
Gulf of Mexico rubble habitats that are associated with salt domes, unique deep bank …

Maerl beds worldwide face habitat destruction (eg from dredging, fishing gear and fish
farms), the combined pressures of ocean warming and acidification, and the spread of …

Rhodolith beds formed by non-articulated calcareous algae have been recognized as
important habitats for a range of organisms. The Brazilian coast is home to one of the largest …

The aim of this study was to determine the structure of a rhodolith bed along a depth
gradient of 5 to 25 m in the shelf in front of Salvador City, a region of northeastern Brazil. The …

Rhodoliths are free-living and morphologically diverse marine calcareous algae commonly
distributed over the continental shelf seafloor. They increase the seabed structural …

Accurate mapping of marine benthic habitats, using acoustic technologies such as Side-
Scan Sonar (SSS), is a useful tool for marine conservation and management, as well as to …

Rhodoliths are formed by coralline red algae and can form heterogeneous substrata with
high biodiversity. Here we describe a rhodolith bed at the southern limit of the known …

For the first time the subarctic northwestern Atlantic, we examined variation in rhodolith
(Lithothamnion glaciale) morphology and biogenic potential in two large (> 500 m2) …
