“…Half of the sites are located inside the Pedra da Risca do Meio Marine State Park (PRM), a conservation unit created in 1997, but still poorly managed (Soares et al, 2011). There were also three sites located along Fortaleza (the state's capital and large urban area), four on the eastern side of the state and three on the western side ( Figure 1).…”

Based on data from 151 underwater surveys (scuba) between 2002 and 2007, the present study assessed the reef fish fauna from a scarcely known region on the north-eastern Brazilian coast (Ceará State). A checklist of 179 taxa is provided and the zoogeographic patterns are analysed and discussed, including six other localities. Based only on assemblage composition, the reef fish fauna from Ceará showed a strong resemblance (73%) with the reefs of Risca do Zumbi (RN) and Paraiba (PB). The data from the visual censuses including abundance values corroborate the evaluation based only on composition and suggest ecological factors as the main drivers of the fish assemblages in the region.

“…Essa permissão, no entanto, está em desacordo com a lei de criação do SNUC, que proíbe todo tipo de exploração econômica de Parques públicos, com exceção do turismo ecológico. Apesar de ainda não haver uma análise do assunto sob o ponto de vista legal, alguns autores concordam que a aparente ambiguidade entre os dispositivos estadual e federal que dificulta a gestão do Parque, por vezes impedindo a entrada de recursos para sua gestão (Soares et al, 2011).…”

“…No entanto, são escassos os estudos sobre o local e praticamente inexistem caracterizações abrangentes do Parque. Tem-se o registro documentado de que a região é frequentada por 123 espécies de peixes ósseos, seis de peixes cartilaginosos, uma de golfinho e três de tartaruga, muitas dessas ameaçadas de extinção (Freitas, 2009;Soares et al, 2011). Também sabe-se que grande parte da superfície dos recifes está coberta por esponjas, corais e algas, sem no entanto termos a identificação da maioria das espécies (Soares et al, 2016).…”

“…Devido à conectividade inerente aos ambientes marinhos, o funcionamento dessas unidades é por vezes bastante complexo e a utilização de critérios objetivos para descrever sua importância poderia contribuir sensivelmente na melhoria da sua gestão (MMA, 2010), sobretudo ao incorporar, nas políticas públicas, ações que minimizem as falhas de mercado decorrentes da natureza dos bens públicos e da existência de externalidades (Pindyck & Rubinfeld, 2013) O presente trabalho tem por objetivo estimar os valores de uso e de não uso do Parque Estadual Marinho da Pedra da Risca do Meio (PRM), única unidade de conservação exclusivamente marinha do estado do Ceará. Essa unidade de conservação protege ambientes peculiares da costa brasileira (Soares et al, 2016), porém, ainda carece de uma gestão eficiente, inclusive por conta da falta de dados que permitam tomadas de decisão bem informadas (Lima Filho, 2006, Soares et al, 2011. Portanto, mas com consequências que podem ir além de questões administrativas, é preciso que sejam realizados estudos básicos da região, dentre os quais se inclui a valoração.…”

The establishment of protected areas is an efficient way to ensure nature conservation, but these areas are frequently managed without objective criteria for resource allocation, what often results in insufficient funding. In order to contribute to the management of marine protected areas in Brazil, this paper aims to estimate use and non-use values of Parque Estadual Marinho da Pedra da Risca do Meio, located in Ceará state, through the contingent valuation method. One hundred and five (105) interviews were conducted with residents of Fortaleza, Ceará, and the influence of sociological variables (summarized by descriptive statistics) on the Willingness To Pay (WTP) for the maintenance of the Park was studied through linear models. Total willingness to pay was calculated by multiplying WTP by the involved population. On average, respondents were willing to expend R$21.50 / month for the maintenance of the Park, an amount that was higher in the case of users and people of higher incomes. Considering only users, the use value amounts to R$964.080 / year. These results highlight the importance of this protected area and emphasize the need of new financing strategies for its maintenance. Increased incentives for visitation, collection of fees and the payment for environmental services seem to be well-accepted financing mechanisms, which are equally applicable to other Brazilian marine protected areas, and therefore can contribute to the conservation of the country's coastal zone.

“…Only with a proper management plan, the elaboration of the limits of explotation area will be clearly defined (MMA, 2018). Many anthropic activities such as illegal fisheries, overexploitation of resources, and habitat modification inside MPA boundaries from both management categories are still being reported (Wahrlich, 1999;Dutra et al, 2011;Spínola et al, 2014;Soares et al, 2011). Furthermore, it is increasingly recognized that many protected areas undergo downgrading, downsizing, and/or degazettement (Mascia and Pailler, 2011) because of social, economic, and political interests.…”

Network expansion of marine protected areas in a changing world is a difficult task for conservation planners. Brazil experiences a combination of low and uneven protection of marine environmets, increasing anthropogenic pressures, climate change, and gaps in information regarding the geographical distribution of many species (Wallacean shortfall). Here, we addressed these issues and present a strategy for identifying priority marine areas for conservation in Brazil that would contribute to increasing species representation and achievement of conservation targets. Within this strategy, we accounted for (i) species range shifts due to climate change and their influence on species distribution, (ii) the lack of species geographical distribution data, and (iii) anthropic pressures on oceans. First, we built ecological niche models (ENMs) for 12 threatened starfish species in both present and future (2100) times using Maxent. We also quantified and mapped species range shifts. Second, we developed three conservation spatial solutions and compared the 10% top-ranked areas. The results showed that ENMs had a good performance in representing the distribution of species, even those that had few occurrence records. Our models forecasted a significant range expansion for the majority of species (10 out 12) by 2100. We found that the priority sites covering the top-ranked 10% in the study area identified in ours conservation spatial solutions would protect between 10.41% and 15.88%, on average, of suitable areas for the starfish species. Our results indicated priority sites for conservation less affected by anthropic pressures (~2%) when data on human impacts on oceans were incorporated into the spatial prioritization process. We identified a network of priority marine sites for conservation that minimized human influence and considered the effects of climate change on species distribution. We used threatened starfish species as a case study for illustrating our approach; however, such an approach could be applied to any taxonomic group, which supports the development of more effective conservation actions that represent biodiversity under such threats.
