Abstract

The Araruama Lake is recognized as the largest hypersaline lagoon in the world, surrounded by dunes and salt marsh vegetation that framed his vaunted natural beauty, creates a condition of international postcard. This is linked to its ecological importance, causes it to be characterized as a unique environment within the environmental context. However, the degradation of their banks, occasioned by their irregular occupation, including through the deployment of saline, which has been occurring for over a century, has resulted in deforestation of these areas of permanent preservation, which constitute the Coastline Protection (FMP ). The rationale of this proposal is guided by the fact that the PMF in existing pond, demarcated and approved by Decree No. 42694, November 11from of 2010, did not take into account the environmental aspect of utmost importance. Under these conditions, it is necessary to implement policy to actions aimed at revitalizing the area surrounding the pond, so as to ensure the preservation of this ecosystem located in areas bordering the shore of Lake Araruama and ensure environmental sustainability. This study adhered to the survey of areas in which they occurred and vegetation, with the intention to order its classification, primarily interested in defining the areas of salt marshes, which are considered areas of permanent preservation by CONAMA Resolution 303/2002 and as part of the FMP by the Forest Code, when fixing stabilizing dunes and mangrove. Depending on the results of this survey, it was proposed to be included in the Coastline Protection (FMP), the areas where there is the presence of salt marsh vegetation, with support in the Code (Federal Law No. 4771/65) that currently, the subject matter. In order to preserve the water body as a whole and ensuring environmental sustainability.
