About

Francisco Arenas is a researcher and the Head of the Benthic Ecology Team at CIIMAR, Portugal. His research focuses on the response of intertidal ecosystems to climate change, particularly in relation to seaweeds such as Ascophyllum nodosum and Laminaria hyperborea. Recent articles highlight his work on the effects of heat stress on marine organisms and the ecological implications of Marine Protected Areas. He is dedicated to advancing knowledge on benthic environments and their response to environmental stressors.
