“…Lucrezi et al (2018) state that South Africa's long coastline is dominated by sandy beaches, many of which are valued and exploited for recreation and tourism. Specifically, Lucrezi et al (2016, p. 1) state that "sandy beaches are invaluable ecosystems, offering services that are critical for the survival of coastal communities, and possessing intrinsic values that need to be protected".…”

“…Since then, scientists have proposed that natural beach assets should be better incorporated into classical certification schemes (Fraguell et al, 2016, Lucrezi et al, 2015 and especially new methodologies for capturing beach complexity in order to provide information for sustainable management (Ariza et al, 2010, Botero et al, 2015, Cervantes and Espejel, 2008, Semeoshenkova et al, 2015, Todd and Bowa, 2016, Lucrezi et al, 2016.…”

For the first time, this research addresses the assessment of the quality of knowledge embedded in beach quality indexes from a socioecological perspective. We took the most widespread beach quality indexes and identified, selected and assessed the most important existing assumptions. We scored the robustness of these assumptions, using an inclusive methodology (stakeholder meeting, four focus groups and an online questionnaire). The NUSAP criteria for assessing the value-ladenness of scientific studies (Influence of resource limitations, (Im)Plausibility, Choice space, Agreement among peers, Analysts' subjectivity and Influence on global results) were contrasted and discussed. A final list of the 10 weakest assumptions was presented and discussed. Most of these assumptions are fairly robust, but attention should mainly focus on their influence on global outcomes and (im)plausibility, as the weakest scored criteria. The choice space scores revealed the possibility of including new alternatives to the assumptions, when necessary. Assumptions loaded with framing concepts are weaker than those linked to more concrete objectives. We detected dissociation between the discourse and the operational development of the indexes, in which the narratives prioritizing user satisfaction are predominant and scientific data analysis is often decontextualized. We therefore suggest that science should be opened up throughout the building process of indexes: from the identification of problems to the reporting of results and related uncertainties. The NUSAP method proved to be useful for identifying weak points in beach quality indexes.

“…As praias arenosas são ecossistemas que oferecem serviços críticos para a sobrevivência da comunidade costei-ra e possuem valores intrínsecos que necessitam ser protegidos. As atividades recreativas e turísticas têm aumentado nas últimas décadas e isto tem conduzido ao aumento de pressão nas praias, causando uma ameaça do ponto de vista econômico, recreacional, natural e paisagístico (Lucrezi et al, 2016;Ariza et al, 2010).…”

As praias brasileiras oferecem serviços e necessitam de uma infraestrutura alinhada e integrada com a legislação, com os interesses dos atores envolvidos e com uma governança estabelecida. Para suprir esta demanda, surge o padrão internacional ISO 13.009:2015, que trata especificamente da gestão de praias. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar como este instrumento poderia contribuir para o processo de governança e designação de competência aos órgãos gestores envolvidos mitigando os conflitos existentes. Partiu-se de uma revisão bibliográfica e documental para verificar a conformidade entre esta norma e a legislação pertinente a um conflito na praia de Camboinhas, relativo à infraestrutura. Por meio de um processo comparativo entre os requisitos mínimos da norma ISO 13.009:2015 e a legislação pertinente, foi estimado o grau de contribuição da norma para a resolução do conflito. Constatou-se, a partir do Termo de Ajustamento de Conduta (TAC) expedido pelo Ministério Público Estadual, que caso os quiosques estivessem em conformidade com a norma, poderia haver uma contribuição direta para a resolução do conflito, o que corresponderia a uma conformidade de 54,29% das cláusulas previamente acordadas no TAC, e, também, uma divergência da legislação pertinente em relação aos requisitos mínimos da norma em 35,48%. Desta forma, os resultados encontrados indicam que a conformidade dos quiosques poderia contribuir para o processo geral de governança e competência dos órgãos envolvidos, mitigando outros conflitos existentes e atraindo investimentos para a praia.
