Applying ecohydrology to promote a nature-based solution
Teodosio, Maria; Faria, Silvana; Baptista, Vânia; Wolanski, EricThis chapter aims to develop an ecohydrological modelling approach to propose an environmental engineering solution based on historical nature-based information to alleviate the severe water degradation problem within Luanda Bay, Angola. This solution would improve local communities' ecosystem health and quality of life. The model suggests a simple and practical solution to solving the pollution problem by open...
Risk Awareness and Quality of Life of a Coastal Community Exposed to Environmen...
Nogueira, Patrícia; Faria, Silvana; Mosley, Benjamin A.; Domingues, Rita B.Luanda Bay and Mussulo Lagoon, situated in Luanda (Angola), are two coastal ecosystems highly sensitive to environmental issues, such as climate change, water pollution, eutrophication, and harmful algal blooms. These environmental problems can severely affect the quality of life of coastal populations. In this study, we aim to evaluate several psychological variables, such as environmental ...
Characterization of Small-Scale Fishing Activity in Luanda Bay (Angola)
Faria, Silvana; Macuéria, Marisa; Mosley, Benjamin A.; Teodósio, M. Alexandra; Baptista, VâniaLuanda Bay, the second largest bay and one of the most important ecosystems of the Angolan coast, supports many human activities. This bay supports a range of marine biodiversity that serves as a means of livelihood and source of income for more than fifty small-scale artisanal fisheries and collectors of worms and bivalve molluscs. The present study is the first record of this fishing activ...

New records of fish species from the coast of Luanda, Angola
Baptista, Vânia; Encarnação, João; Serrao, Ester; Wirtz, Peter; Barros, Lueji; Faria, Silvana; Teodosio, MAThe coastal waters of Angola support a rich and diverse fauna. However, the ichthyofauna of the region is poorly known; the only fish species studied in detail are those with commercial importance. The main objective of the present study is to report the presence of several fish species for the first time from the coast of Angola. The records were made during a survey in the coastal area of Luanda Island. Speci...
