“…5 (a1, a2, a3, a4) shows the shoreline change, considering 27 years time-line, divided by sectors along Itamaraca Island. In most scenarios, the shoreline has experience changes between advance and retreats with different rates during the evaluated periods, which is consistent withMartins et al (2017) who reported some stretches of coastline advancing and others…”

“…At Pontal do Cupe, where the upper part of the reef emerges during low tide, the amount of wave energy in their lee is reduced. At high tide, the reef flat submerges, which reduces wave dissipation, as also observed for other beaches on Pernambuco's coast (Martins et al, 2017). The principal components that explain profile variance and justify the groups established are related to hydrodynamical processes.…”

This paper evaluates the effect of a fringing reef on the morphodynamic behaviour of adjacent beaches in terms of profile stability and cross-shore sediment exchange. Variations in subaerial beach morphology along 39 crossshore profiles at Pontal do Cupe beach (Northeastern Brazil) were analysed, using modelled wave data and monthly beach topography acquired from November 2014 to September 2016. Pontal do Cupe has a reef to the south but is exposed to waves in the north, making this an ideal location to assess the sheltering effect of the reef. Beach volume and beach width data were used to compare the reef-fronted profiles with those of the exposed adjacent beach. Seven groups of profiles were identified by applying Principal Component Analysis to the topography dataset. A simple numerical model was used to quantify the role of the reef in dissipating wave energy, showing a reduction of approximately 50% in incoming wave energy to the shore. The reef-fronted beach is significantly more stable than the exposed beach. Total beach volume is similar for both the exposed and the reef-fronted beach. The results of this survey can be used as a proxy for the ecosystem service of coastal protection provided by reefs.

“…A study determined that approximately 70% of Santos lies in "high vulnerability areas" to climate change-induced sea level rises, erosion and flooding 74 . A majority of the population in the Northeast region live in coastal cities, where urban coastal zones are also prone to erosion caused by sea level rise and increases in wave height 75 .…”

This country profile for Brazil has been developed with the input from in-country academic experts, including Dr. Roberto Luís de Melo Monte-Mór (Federal University of Minas Gerais), Dr. Jakob Sparn, Dr. Olinda Canhoto (Centro de Biotecnologia Amazônia) and Dr. Carlos Lamarão (Federal University of Amazonas), in the context of the BEIS COP26 Futures We Want project. It provides a review of the available evidence on the risks, solutions and opportunities for Brazil and Brazilian society to contribute towards a global transition to a net zero future that is inclusive, resilient and desirable by all.
