Fresh Sardines in the Estuary!

Not at the fish market or during São João festivities... but in the estuary!

During today's monitoring activities at the oyster farm, we were surprised by a beautiful school of juvenile sardines passing through.

Estuaries provide vital shelter, feeding grounds, and nursery habitats for many marine species. The presence of these juveniles highlights the crucial role of these ecosystems as natural "nurseries" that support marine biodiversity and healthy fish populations.
