Human impact on the benthic macrofauna of two beach environments with different morphodynamic characteristics in southern Brazil

Abstract: A B S T R A C TPollution, exploitation of resources, erosion and recreational activities produce the most common impacts that somehow alter the natural balance of beach ecosystems. The aim of this study was to compare the richness and abundance of the benthic macrofauna of two sectors, one non-urbanized and the other urbanized, on each of two morphodynamically different beaches. Sectors of each beach were analyzed taking into account morphodynamic, anthropogenic (recreational activities) and ecological aspects… Show more

“…O Estado da Paraíba é um local que abriga vários tipos de invertebrados marinhos em sua costa litorânea, incluindo diversas espécies de poliquetas, os quais são organismos importantes para a indicação de poluição ambiental, sendo, portanto, denominados de bioindicadores (Amaral et al, 1998;Vieira et al, 2012).…”

“…A presença de B. bonariensis no supralitoral foi registrada em estudos de souza & Gianuca (1995), borzone et al (1996), borzone & souza (1997), schreiner & ozorio (2003) e Vieira et al (2012, e sempre esteve relacionada a praias de perfil suave, com areia fina e muito fina (borzone et al, 1996;borzone & souza, 1997;Vieira et al, 2012). Estas características do ambiente praial geralmente estão associadas a estádios morfodinâmicos dissipativos.…”
