March/2010 – taking advantage of our stay in Recife – PE, we went to make a shipwreck recognition, which act as artificial reefs in the local biodiversity development and there are in great quantity in the region. We also visited the Manatee Project in Itamaraca Island.
Shipwrecks visited:
1. Servemar I at 24 meters deep Biotic Registered: zero <zero> +10 With still a little biodiversity developed.
2. Pirapama at 24 meters deep.
Biotic Registered: zero <+5> +20
