Danos ambientais em áreas de preservação permanente na Zona Costeira: os desafios de Camocim / Ceará

Abstract

Analyzing the legal basis that supports environmental issues, this thesis highlights the strengths and inconsistencies in the legislation that deals with the subject. The aim presented here was to establish links between legal aspects and technical-scientific knowledge of environmental systems, all of Municipality of Camocim - CE scenarios where there were actions to repair the environmental damage. The focus was on repairing damages on the Permanent Preservation Areas, especially the investigations in administrative and civil spheres, considering the obstacles of process analysis, recognizing failures and proposing adjustments and guidelines. The State Environment Superintendent of Ceará database was used as reference, since this institution has 28 years of experience in environmental labors in the state. Coastal Environmental Systems were chosen as the setting, given the peculiarities related to intense natural dynamics that generates fast responses to environmental damage, allowing a more complete analysis in the short term. These systems have been defined in detail scale (1:10,000), mapped and typified about Ecodynamic Theory. In all units, there were technical field visits to measure the information mapping and surveying supplementary information to the understanding of the damage. The results revealed that legal protection as regards the permanent preservation areas does not seem compatible with the sensitivity of the coastal environmental systems. To deepen in the knowledge of these systems, considering the historical operating processes, this thesis proposed criteria for a method of analysis of environmental damage. A set of guidelines for state legislation to protect ecosystems such as dunes and wetlands with salt and apicuns was presented. Finally, the thesis presented a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of administrative performance in the protection of the State of Ceará environment. In this exercise, it was noted that decisions, judicial and administrative, tend to be more mediocre the less you know the affected environments. Arguably, in nature repair is the best option.
