RESUMOEste estudo teve por objetivo diagnosticar as principais áreas verdes do bairro Potengi, localizado na Região Administrativa Norte de Natal-RN. A metodologia adotada consistiu, principalmente, de levantamentos bibliográfico e documental e, posteriormente, de pesquisa de campo, por meio da qual foi possível se visitar ruas, praças, canteiros e passeios públicos do bairro. A detecção das áreas verdes se deu inicialmente com o uso do google Earth. Os resultados apontaram que as áreas verdes do bairro Potengi estão em torno de 2,20 km² de extensão, correspondendo a uma taxa de 27,54% do território da região. As principais praças e canteiros visitados dispõem de árvores de pequeno a médio portes. Conclui-se que as áreas verdes públicas do bairro Potengi estão concentradas basicamente nas praças e canteiros centrais das principais ruas e avenidas. O percentual de arborização do bairro apresenta-se pouco significativo, requerendo com isso um maior envolvimento das populações locais e do poder público no sentido de se ampliar a arborização dos passeios públicos, visto que a presença de áreas verdes no espaço urbano é fator de extrema relevância para o bem-estar da população. Além disso, devido a importância das áreas verdes para a melhoria da qualidade de vida, o estudo constatou, ainda, a falta de investimento público no que tange a manutenção e revitalização das áreas verdes públicas. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Diagnóstico. Áreas verdes públicas. Planejamento ambiental. Bairro Potengi. ABSTRACTThis study aimed to diagnose the main green areas of the Potengi neighborhood, located in the North Administrative Region of Natal-RN. The methodology consisted mainly of bibliographic and documentary surveys and subsequently field research, through which it was possible to visit streets, squares, flowerbeds and public tours of the neighborhood. Detection of green areas initially occurred with the use of Google Earth. The results showed that the green areas of the Potengi neighborhood are around 2.20 square kilometers in length, corresponding to a rate of 27.54% of the territory of the region. The main squares and sites visited have small to medium-sized trees. It concludes that public green areas of the Potengi neighborhood are concentrated basically in the squares and medians of the main streets and avenues. The afforestation percentage of the neighborhood presents negligible, requiring hence a greater involvement of local people and government in order to expand afforestation of public footpaths, as the presence of green areas in urban areas is extreme factor relevance to the people's welfare. Also, because the importance of green spaces to improve the quality of life, the study found, though, the lack of public investment regarding the maintenance and revitalization of public green areas.
A new occurrence each of Batrachoides surinamensis and Canthidermis maculata is reported in the northeastern coast of Brazil. This report adds to the known records for both species and increases the regional marine fish richness to 461 species. Following these records, 1.6 tons of C. maculata were landed from May 2016 to January 2017, representing more than 1,500 individuals caught monthly. While it sheds light on the importance of C. maculata, the economic and social role of B. surinamensis remains unknown. Likewise, their conservation status is currently uncertain and further investigation is warranted.
