    The continental shelf is composed of a tropical mosaic megahabitats that support a high diversity of habitats, and now have suffered from anthropogenic pressures. The development and application of geo-mapping studies of the marine substrate has provided increased knowledge of benthic habitats. The most important coral reef formation of the South Atlantic, Abrolhos Platform, does not have sufficient information to enable effective management. The present study aims at presenting a spatial distribution and characterization of the major fields of the Platform of the Abrolhos' megahabitats. To this end, we used data from direct and indirect geological research, with a combination of surveys covering methodological SSS, and echo sounder, ROV, and the basis for a hierarchical classification of megahabitats and integration with past data collected. Reaching an interpretative representation of the types of background of the region studied (50.500km²), the methodological application was able to generate a new vision for the Platform of the Abrolhos. We identified areas of reef megahabitat (17%), Rhodolite (51%) as well as the main features of each, with variations occurring in the distribution and occurrence in relation to the available bathymetric profile. A reef structures that occurs with the domain Rhodolite, the Buracas, is a particular habitat that may have a significant importance for the ecosystem of Abrolhos. The methodology was applied to generate a satisfactory representation of the distribution and description of marine megahabitats for the entire Abrolhos Platform. Thus offering a new approach to design studies of applied marine habitats along the Brazilian coast, is important for the space represented, contained in a unique region where there was a gap in knowledge about the distribution and characterization of this habitat throughout its length.

    Registro geológico holocênico de recifes submersos na plataforma de Abrolhos

    Coral Reef systems are common features throughout many modern tropical coastal zone and the evidence of their occurrence during different sea levels have been studied worldwide. The Abrolhos Shelf (Brazil) encompasses the most important coral reef system in the South Atlantic showing high levels of endemism, low diversity and unique growth (locally known as “chapeirões”). The reef system along the shelf is characterized by shallow reef arcs parallel to the coast, and “give-up” reefs throughout the north-central and southern shelf. The main objective of this study is to investigate the geological record showing the Late Holocene evolution of two submerged pinnacles in the Abrolhos Shelf. Herein, two submerged pinnacles were drilledwith their tops at 4 and 15 m below sea level, called "Shallow Water Reef" (SW) and "Deep Water Reef" (DW). A total of eight cores were collected. Vertical (top down) and horizontal (perpendicular to the pinnacle wall) cores were recovered, ranging from 0.70 to 2.03 m in length. Significant coralgal framework was observed in the cores (corals such species as Mussismilia harttii., Millepora sp., Siderastrea sp., Porites sp., Favia sp. and Madracis sp.; and coralline algae such species as Hydrolithon sp., Lithophyllum kotschyanum, Lithophyllum sp., Amphiroa sp., Mesophyllum erubescens and Sporolithon episporum). However, we found that by far the most abundant framebuilding component were Schizoporellidae bryozoans. Extensive encrusting bryozoans were identified in all cores comprising between 15 - 52,9% of 2D areas. Bryozoans were most representative in the "DW" cores. Paradoxically, the poor spatial competition of encrusting bryozoans must be the explanation for the bryozoan dominance in the "DW" cores, which hermatypic corals can not develop. Radiocarbon dates indicate that the "DW" reef is older than the "SW" reef as well as higher reef accumulation rates occur in the past thousand years is in the "SW" reef. The results show that the both reefs have been developed in a shallow shelf environment (<30 meters depth)
