Análise integrada de unidades geoecológicas relacionadas com as atividades pesqueiras no litoral sul do Santo, Brazil

Abstract

This study aims to present an integrated analysis of geoenvironmental units related to fisheries activities in Piúma, southern coast of Espírito Santo state. The units identification were accessed through geo referenced cartographical images, describing information about fisheries activities, uses and occupation, the impacts and the management proposals for each environment. Nine geo environmental units were identified in which at least artisanal fisheries systems are practiced. Pollution and environmental degradation were identified as main impacts throughout the coastal zone. Conservation efforts were not identified for units. We argue that integrated studies may support concrete, efficient proposals for co-management of geo environmental units and fisheries systems in a regional scale, attempting to local care and singularities.
