Career
[edit]Almeida is recognized as the Director of the West African Science Service Centre on Climate Change (WASCAL) and holds workshops on critical areas surrounding the UN Ocean Decade roadmap.[2] WASCAL, under the leadership of Almeida, is a recognized Ocean Decade Project which engages in Challenges 4 (Sustainable Ocean economy) and 9 (Capacity development) within the North Atlantic Ocean.[3] Referenced as an engaging instructor and mentor,[4] Almeida assists Early Carrer Ocean Professionals (ECOPs) in obtaining their master's degree in marine science through a real research expedition.
Beyond directing WASCAL, Almeida engages in Forums internationally, including being a keynote speaker at The Ocean Race Summit Mindelo,[5] Blue Planet's 2024 Ocean Observation and Prediction for Coastal Sustainability in Africa,[6] The Transatlantic Science Conference,[7] and the All-Atlantic Ocean Research and Innovation Alliance.[8]
Publications
[edit]Almeida has a variety of published works, including: 
- Light pollution affects nesting behaviour of loggerhead turtles and predation risk of nests and hatchlings. [9]
- Temporal evolution of imposex and butyltin contamination in Gemophos viverratus from Sao Vicente (Cabo Verde)- a countercurrent trend on the world scenario.[10]
