“…These coral reefs are fringed by a vast estuarine and mangrove ecosystem complex, and are part of an environmental protection area (EPA) equivalent to the landscape/seascape IUCN category (sensu, Dudley 2008). Despite this protection status, some local reefs may be subject to intense tourist visitations throughout the year, as tourism represents an important regional source of livelihood for several nearby communities (Oliveira 2007;Silva et al 2009;Alencar 2011). At the visited reefs, human activities typically involve swimming, snorkelling and artificial fish feeding, whereas extractive activities (i.e.…”

Non-lethal human disturbances are often drivers of change in animal population and community structure. To gauge their severity, short-term behaviour (e.g. avoidance and habituation) has been argued to be a sensitive measure. However, many of these behavioural changes may occur only if disturbance-free habitat is readily accessible. In coral-reef fish, we tested whether human disturbances from intensive (i.e. loud music, swimming, snorkelling, splashing and fish feeding by numerous visitors) tourist visitations resulted in assemblage structure shifts led by shortterm behaviour. We monitored fish assemblage before, during and after tourist visitations to monitor changes associated with behaviour. Additionally, we monitored two adjacent reefs not visited by tourists because of difficult approach by boat. We posited that if short-term benefits of relocating to disturbance-free habitat outweigh the costs of tolerating disturbances, fish assemblage structure should shift along with tourist visitation levels. By contrast, if sensitive species are unable or unwilling to relocate, we predicted greater levels of assemblage heterogeneity between the visited and control reefs. Our results showed that in situ human visitations led to significant shifts in assemblage structure, resulting from short-term behavioural changes. Additionally, we showed significant between-reefs differences, whereby control reefs were characterised by higher species richness, larger fish sizes and variations in relative trophic guild prevalence. Our results suggest that short-term relocations to adjacent disturbance-free reefs may not mitigate the effects of human disturbances.

“…Quanto à geração de resíduos sólidos domiciliares em função da sazonalidade, a produção excede os limites da média nos meses de alta temporada, contudo não revela a totalidade da produção que ainda conta com os resíduos vinculados a construção civil, limpeza pública e lixo hospitalar, mostrando a elevada carga destes resíduos no meio ambiente. Oliveira (2007) afirma que o grande fluxo de turistas no período de alta temporada favorece a degradação ambiental (poluição das águas, elevada produção de resíduos sólidos e líquidos e desmatamento), havendo uma inadequada gestão sustentável no uso desses espaços, desrespeitando a capacidade de carga ambiental, ou seja, a quantidade de pessoas que uma localidade é capaz de suportar sem danificar as suas estruturas ambientais. Nesse sentido, percebe-se uma dissonância entre a opinião de moradores que indicam que atividade turística em Ubatuba não favorece a valorização dos espaços com a utilização racional do espaço com a natureza (48,7%), enquanto que para os turistas essa taxa é de 54,9%.…”

If on the one hand, the current Brazilian scenario, in case of its natural resources, is composed by an undeniable wealth; on the other hand, this same wealth is under severe threat, for various reasons. The country's natural aspects are expressive potential or tourist attractive activities already consolidated. The balance of the environment is considered a right of Brazilian citizens, guaranteed by their law, which also establishes environmental education as a tool for preservation. Tourism directly interferes in the environment in a negative way and/or positively. Thus, this study aims to relate the tourist activity with the environmental education from the perspective of laws 6. 938/81, 9.795/99 and 11.771/2008, which shall deliberate on the National Policy on the Environment, Environmental Education and the National Policy for tourism, respectively. Soon, we observed that, although such laws provide for environmental education clearly as principle, as a national policy or even as objectives determined, the relationship with the tourism is especially when it comes to tourism in natural areas and ecotourism. Considers, therefore, that the noninvolvement, by laws studied, other segments, services and products of this sector, can contribute to the reduction of the protection of the environment and compliance with laws.
