No Verão de 1989, o Departamento de Oceanografia e Pescas da Universidade dos Açores, Horta, e o Port Erin Marine Laboratory, University of Liverpool, Isle of Man, levaram a cabo um programa de investigação (Expedição Açores 1989) tendo em vista estudar a fauna e flora do litoral marinho das ilhas do Faial e Pico, no arquipélago dos Açores. A reserva marinha natural do Monte da Guia foi estudada com particular detalhe. Neste local, foram efectuados 10 perfis com o objectivo de descrever as comunidades botânicas e faunísticas e organizar com espécimens recolhidos, colecções de referência. Com base nestes trabalhos foram até à data publicados 5 artigos, 6 novos artigos são incluídos neste número da revista Arquipélago. Outros artigos serão publicados em volumes posteriores e noutras revistas científicas.
