Consultoría y Evaluación de áreas someras marinas

The activities of the 'Consultoría y Evaluación de áreas marinas someras’ laboratory are dedicated to understanding the biodiversity of marine intertidal environments and shallow marine areas in Peru. Our taxonomic research endeavours to document the diversity of invertebrates inhabiting the Peruvian coast, thereby advancing knowledge of marine biodiversity and supporting our scientific collection of marine invertebrates. The laboratory has actively contributed to the NaGISA project, a component of the Census of Marine Life, and currently engages in ongoing rocky shore assessments at four locations along the Peruvian coast as part of the regional initiative SARCE (South American Research group in Coastal Ecosystems).
The laboratory also accommodates students interested in conducting research for their theses, with a focus on invertebrate taxonomy, population ecology, behavioral ecology, life history, or morphology.
Furthermore, the laboratory offers services for the analysis of marine benthic samples and taxonomic identification of algae and marine invertebrates, particularly polychaete worms, small crustaceans, echinoderms, and other smaller groups. All necessary equipment and materials for sample collection and laboratory analysis are readily available.
