Dinâmica sedimentar atual nas enseadas da região de Ubatuba, estado de São Paulo

Abstract: Este trabalho tem, como objetivo, o estabelecimento de um modelo de sedimentação para as enseadas semi-confinadas da região costeira de Ubatuba, Estado de São Paulo, a partir da identificação dos principais mecanismos de aporte e remobilização de sedimentos e da definição de sua variabilidade. A área de estudo compreende cinco enseadas: Ubatuba, Toninhas, Flamengo, Fortaleza e Mar Virado. A metodologia de trabalho consistiu de cinco séries de estações fixas de correntometria e termossalinometria e seis séries … Show more

“…The exchange of water and sediment between the coastal region and the adjacent shelf is very limited (Mahiques 1995). The region is under the influence of three water masses: Coastal Water (CWa = temperature > 20°C; salinity < 36), Tropical Water (TW = temperature > 20°C; salinity > 36), and South Atlantic Central Water (SACW = temperature < 18°C; salinity < 36) (Castro-Filho et al 1987;Odebrecht & Castello 2001;De Léo & Pires-Vanin 2006).…”

“…The Ubatumirim Bay faces southwest with several small islands close to its mouth. The islands are considered physical shields, such that the region is subjected to less intense hydrodynamics, which results in the deposition of fine sediments (Mahiques 1995). The bay receives freshwater inflow mainly from the Puruba, Ubatumirim and Fazenda Rivers, and is an area of lower occupancy and human activity in the region (Rodrigues et al 2002).…”

“…The sound has a surface area of 18 km 2 , mean width of 2.5 km and a maximum depth of 14 m. It is oriented N-S and subject to waves from E-NE, associated with trade winds, or S-SE, associated with the passage of cold fronts over the area (Mahiques et al 1998). Muddy sediments are predominant, suggesting a low energy depositional environment characteristic of restricted circulation (Mahiques 1995). The Atlantic Tropical Forest surrounds the study site where there is no mangrove forest, and a poorly developed seagrass bed of Halodule wrightii is found in the very inner part of the sound (Oliveira et al 1983).…”

“…Lower salinity and higher temperature values are characteristically from Coastal Water (CW) in high summer in the northern coast of Sa˜o Paulo state (Castro Filho et al 1987). Local drainage from small rivers is not very important and continental sedimentary contributions take place during the summer rainy season, when transport of terrestrial macrophyte biomass represents a considerable organic matter contribution (Mahiques 1995;Mahiques et al 1998). Oligotrophic conditions prevail during the year, and phytoplankton peaks occur in the spring-summer as a result of the enrichment of the euphotic layer (Sassi and Kutner 1982) by intermittent upwelling of deeper water (Castro Filho et al 1987;Azevedo 2002).…”

“…The study area comprised the shallow waters of three bays (Ubatumirim, Ubatuba and Mar Virado) on this coast. Ubatumirim Bay faces southwest, with several small islands close to its mouth; Ubatuba Bay faces east and has a seaward constriction formed by rocky projections; and the seaward end of Mar Virado Bay faces southeast (Mahiques 1995).…”
