    “Brazilian Marine Macroalgae” offers solutions by compiling the most up-to-date taxonomic information, supported by molecular data, which will allow researchers to accurately identify and classify macroalgae species along the Brazilian coast. It provides an in-depth look at the physiological and ecological characteristics of these algae, including the impacts of climate change and the potential for sustainable macroalgae aquaculture. By doing so, it offers pathways to increase production for economic uses, such as biotechnology, while promoting conservation efforts. This book addresses a significant gap in the understanding of marine macroalgae biodiversity in Brazil, providing crucial insights into the taxonomy, ecology, physiology, and economic potential of red, green, and brown macroalgae along the Brazilian coast. There is an urgent need for a book in this area, given that no existing publication comprehensively compiles this information, leaving researchers, students, and professionals without a definitive resource on the subject.  With contributions from over 30 experts in phycology, “Brazilian Marine Macroalgae” will serve as an essential reference for professionals in biology, oceanography, chemistry, economics, and related fields, filling a critical knowledge gap and offering tools for better utilizing Brazil’s rich marine biodiversity.

She obtained a Master and PhD degrees in Biological Science from the São Paulo State University (UNESP) for her studies on morphological, chemical and cytogenetical approaches on Laurencia s.l. (Rhodophyta) from Brazil. Areas of interest are biodiversity, taxonomy, molecular phylogeny and phylogeography of seaweeds. Valéria Cassano, PhD, is a Professor at the Department of Botany, University of São Paulo. She is currently Herbarium Curator of SPF-Algae at the University of São Paulo. She obtained a Master in Biological Sciences (Botany) at the National Museum, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro for her research on the filamentous brown algae (Phaeophyceae) and PhD at the Environmental Research Institute (IPA, formerly Institute of Botany), São Paulo, Brazil for her research on the taxonomy and phylogeny of the Laurencia complex (Ceramiales, Rhodophyta). She is focusing her research on taxonomy, systematics, and molecular phylogeny of seaweeds. José Marcos de Castro Nunes, PhD, is Professor at the Federal University of Bahia. PhD, Graduated in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of Bahia, Master in Biological Sciences (Botany) from the University of São Paulo, Doctor in Sciences (Botany) from the University of São Paulo.
