Morfologia e distribuição sedimentar em um sistema estuarino tropical: Baía de Vitória, ES

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Vitória Bay is an estuarine system along the eastern Brazilian coast that presents great economic importance and unique characteristics. The present study focused on describing the morphology, sedimentary distribution and sonographic patterns along the bay in order to recognize the prevailing sedimentary processes acting along the estuary. An integrated analysis allowed the recognition of four regions associated with distinct processes: the upper estuary is dominated by fluvial input and estuarine pr… Show more

“…Vitória Bay is connected to the ocean through two channels: the Passagem channel to the north and the Porto channel to the south. The Port channel is constantly dredged and attains the greatest depths of the bay, of approximately 20m (VERONEZ JÚNIOR et al, 2009). The water flow of the Santa Maria da Vitória River is controlled by dams (GARONCE; QUARESMA, 2014).…”

“…This river is the main freshwater input into the bay and is located in its western portion. In addition to this river, the small Formate-Marinho, Bubu, Aribiri and Piranema rivers and Costa channel also flow into the region (VERONEZ JÚNIOR et al, 2009). The freshwater and seawater inflow therefore differs as between the various mangrove areas.…”

“…1) is a drowned river valley. The Santa Maria da Vitória river is the main source of fresh water, with an average flow of 15.7 m 3 /s (Rigo 2004), followed by the Format/Marinho and Bubu rivers, among others (Veronez et al 2009). The presence of dams in the middle and downstream of Santa Maria da Vitória River controls the flows that reach Vitória Bay.…”

“…O composto 17α(H),21β(H)-hopano, apresentou níveis entre 0,06 µg/g (estação 1) -2,5 µg/g (estação 9); já os compostos 17α(H),21β(H)-30-homohopano(22S) e 17α(H),21β(H)-30-homohopano(22R) apresentaram 0,2 µg/g (estação 16) -2,8 µg/g (estação 21) e 0,2 µg/g (estação 8) -2,3 µg/g (estação 11), respectivamente. As estações que apresentaram as maiores concentrações (9, 21 e 11) estão localizadas próximas à margem, zonas preferenciais de sedimentação (Veronez Júnior et al, 2009) e próximas ao esgotamento sanitário (Jesus et al, 2004).…”
