“…The first initiative to evaluate the environmental conditions of the Campos Basin occurred in the end of 1980s, through a partnership between the Fundação de Estudos e Pesquisas Aquáticas (FUNDESPA), University of São Paulo, and Petróleo Brasileiro S/A (PETROBRAS). Regrettably, the data obtained were not widely disseminated through scientific publications [74].…”

Foraminifera are eukaryotic unicellular microorganisms inhabiting all marine environments. The study of these protists has huge potential implications and benefits. They are good indicators of global change and are also promising indicators of the environmental health of marine ecosystems. Nevertheless, much remains to be learned about foraminiferal ecology. The goals of this chapter are (1) to provide a few examples from foraminifera studies, presenting possible use of foraminifera as bioindicators for the monitoring of transitional and marine ecosystems and (2) to highlight the importance of applying these organisms in environmental monitoring studies. A semienclosed coastal lagoon (Aveiro Lagoon; Portugal), an estuarine system (São Sebastião Channel; SE Brazil), a continental shelf sector (Campos Basin; SE Brazil), and a segment of continental slope (Campos Basin; SE Brazil) are used as examples.

“…Although the volume of biological data available from the continental margins of both the North and the Equatorial Atlantic is more expressive when compared to the South Atlantic (Levin and Gooday, 2003), initiatives in partnership with oil industries have been successful in increasing the knowledge in the last 15 years in the SW Atlantic, especially in the Northeast (Guimarães et al, 2020) and Southeast Brazil (Lavrado et al, 2010(Lavrado et al, , 2017Bernardino et al, 2016). The continental slope of Southeast-South Brazil concentrates more than 90% of the country's oil reserves and production (Viana et al, 1998;Mohriak, 2003;Falcão et al, 2017), and the growth of oil and natural gas exploitation in the ocean floor has stimulated the development of environmental characterization and monitoring studies in Campos and Espírito Santo Basins over the last 15 years (Lavrado et al, 2010(Lavrado et al, , 2017Bernardino et al, 2016).…”

Continental margins usually have a high degree of environmental heterogeneity, which, in turn, promotes high benthic biodiversity. The South-Southeast regions concentrate the most well-mapped areas of the Brazilian continental margin regarding seafloor geomorphology and physical oceanography. However, the structure of the soft-sediment benthic fauna of the continental slope is still unknown. Characterization and understanding of the Brazilian continental slope biota are imperative since human activities are increasing in the last decades, especially after the discovery of the pre-salt reservoir in Santos Basin. In this study, we aimed to establish a baseline of the spatial distribution of the benthic macrofaunal communities regarding their latitudinal and bathymetric patterns in the Santos Basin to support future environmental monitoring activities in the region. As part of the Santos Project -The Santos Basin Regional Environmental Characterization (PCR-BS)coordinated by CENPES/PETROBRAS, a benthic oceanographic cruise was carried out in 2019. Sediment samples were collected using a GOMEX-type box corer in 47 stations distributed in eight transects (400-2,400 m depth range). In total, 12 additional stations (1,300-2,200 m) were defined to cover an area where oil and gas are exploited. Our results showed that macrofaunal assemblages of the Santos Basin present strong depth zonation related to changes in organic matter input, as well as to temperature, carbonate, and grain size. At local scale, the northern sector stood out for having a higher abundance of macrofauna in the upper slope (400 m) and it probably reflects the oceanographic processes and the organic enrichment caused by the upwelling events that occur at Cabo Frio region. The zonation pattern and the dominance of some polychaete, peracarid crustacean, and bivalve families were similar to other SE Brazilian continental margins.
