Um olhar sobre a degradação ambiental dos manguezais
Resumo
The mangrove is an ecosystem present along the entire coast around the world that serves as a
place of transition between terrestrial and marine environments. It is a typical environment of
tropical areas, possessing high biodiversity and of fundamental importance for ecological
balance, and can be considered one of the most important ecosystems on the planet. Having
valuable importance for the city of Macau/RN and for the population in a cultural, historical
and economic way, it also has great environmental value as it is a source of food and
reproduction of marine animals, and also for the fishing industries. But, despite being known
for having great wealth and biodiversity, it is in a very advanced state of degradation. With this
in mind, the present work aims to present a study on analysis, control and research of mangrove
waters in the city of Macau/RN, that is, to indicate and understand the problems relating to the
mangrove and its great degradation. The analyzes were carried out following the parameters:
temperature, pH, turbidity and electrical conductivity.
