Nossos costões rochosos também podem ser chamados de recifes rochosos e abrigam um delicado e importante ecossistema para o nosso Oceano, que está ameaçado pela atividades humanas.

The Red Squirrelfish (Sargocentrum hastatum) is common at all depths here in Cape Verde, and it's also found along the African coast and islands south to Angola. They aggregate in caves during the day and spread out to feed on benthic invertebrates at night. #ichthyology
