                         monitoring programs are a cornerstone for understanding changes in 
                         ecosystems. The Brazilian Long-Term Ecological Research Program 
                         (PELD) is an integrated effort model supported by public funds 
                         that finance ecological studies at 34 locations. By interviewing 
                         and compiling data from project coordinators, we assessed 
                         monitoring efforts, targeting biological groups and scientific 
                         production from nine PELD projects encompassing coastal lagoons to 
                         mesophotic reefs and oceanic islands. Reef environments and fish 
                         groups were the most often studied within the long-term projects. 
                         PELD projects covered priority areas for conservation but missed 
                         sensitive areas close to large cities, as well as 
                         underrepresenting ecosystems on the North and Northeast Brazilian 
                         coast. Long-term monitoring projects in marine and coastal 
                         environments in Brazil are recent (<5 years), not yet integrated 
                         as a network, but scientifically productive with considerable 
                         relevance for academic and human resources training. Scientific 
                         production increased exponentially with project age, despite 
                         interruption and shortage of funding during their history. From 
                         our diagnosis, we recommend some actions to fill in observed gaps, 
                         such as: enhancing projects' collaboration and integration; 
                         focusing on priority regions for new projects; broadening the 
                         scope of monitored variables; and, maintenance of funding for 
                         existing projects.",
