Following 2019’s oil spill which resulted on a 2,000 km oil slick along the coast lines of Brazil’s Northeast and Southeast, CNPq and MCTI launched on July 7th a call on research projects addressing oil spill ecosystems impacts; bioremediation; fishery resources damage assessment, among other topics.
More information (in Portuguese) on the CNPq (National Council for Scientific and Technological Development) and MCTI (Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovations) call funded under the national Science at Sea Programme is available here.
