Assessment of the Development of the Brazilian Coastal Public Governance System – 2009 to 2018

Abstract

Our aim is to evaluate the integrated coastal management (ICM) development in Brazil between 2009 and 2018. For this, two approaches were used: in the first, the progress achieved in terms of proposal implementation (considering the proposals presented in the assessment made in 2011); while in the second, the current status of each of the ten key issues of the Decalogue applied by the Ibero American Network for Coastal Management (IBERMAR) was analyzed. In general terms, Brazil showed an intermediate level of advancement (50% of the key issues the value of “3” was assigned, on a scale from “0” to “5”), and no aspect of the Decalogue was classified as no development (value of “0”) or full development (value of “5”). Based on the results, we expect not only to continue the evaluation process of the Brazilian coastal governance system, but also to enable reference analysis between countries, which may foster collaboration among IBERMAR members.
