Planejamento ambiental de ecossistemas lacustres litorâneos em áreas protegidas: o caso da Área de Proteção Ambiental do Lagamar, litoral norte fluminense, Brasil by Luana Aparecida Castro Firmino, Eduardo Manuel Rosa Bulhões.

“…In Brazil, these environments are governed by a broad and complex legal framework that, although it exists, does not guarantee that these spaces are effectively protected. One of the main means used to guarantee the protection of relevant natural areas is creating protected areas that use environmental planning as a spatial planning and organization tool to harmonize uses and thus maintain the balance between natural and human systems. …”
