Este artigo apresenta os diferentes aspectos da proteção do ambiente litorâneo abordando três pontos essenciais. O primeiro evoca a instalação de áreas marinhas protegidas (AMP) em um contexto socioeconômico e político, destacando seu funcionamento e a noção de “ efeito reserva”. O segundo mostra a importância das AMP na proteção da biodiversidade marinha. Finalmente, o terceiro ponto exemplifica a avaliação do meio natural e aborda, de maneira geral, o valor econômico das espécies e da “Natureza” na ocorrência de degradação. Contributions of the marine protected areas for the conservation and management of the marine environment Abstract This article presents the various aspects of the littoral environmental protection by approaching three important points. The first evokes the installation of the marine surfaces protected in a socio-economic and political context. The operation of the reserves and the concept of “ reserve effect “ are explained. The second explains the interest of MPA to protect the marine biodiversity. Lastly, the third point shows the evaluation of the natural environment and more generally of the economic value of the species and “Nature” in the event of degradation.

ABSTRACT The great expectation about the New Forest Code consisted in reducing the hermeneutics distortions and increasing legal certainty for farmers. However, the new legislation raised more uncertainties and discussions, mainly because it consolidates the anthropic use and allows of low-impact activities in areas that should, by law, be kept untouched. This study aimed to survey and to describe the legislation related to protected areas on the rural area (APP and RL), to analyze the consolidated forms of use, occupation and low impact activities that can be developed in these areas, and to propose sustainable technical alternatives for interventions in the areas already consolidated and their recovery. The text is based on literature and documents, elaborated on the survey and study of legal aspects about protected areas in rural properties of Brazil and the main low-impact farming techniques, highlighting the agroforestry systems as an alternative of consolidated occupations in environmental protection areas. The text provides in an organized way the main aspects of the legislation on such areas and describes the sustainable activities allowed in APP and RL according to the flexibility of the new Forest Code.

Effective Solution

This concluding chapter examines the question of whether or not large marine protected areas (MPAs) are a desirable and effective solution to ongoing ocean decline. It makes two seemingly at odds arguments, which it attempts to reconcile. The first argument is that the norm of large MPAs does represent an important paradigm shift in marine conservation, one that has given unprecedented attention to ocean biodiversity loss globally. The second argument qualifies this paradigm shift, claiming that the large MPA norm is still consistent with a neoliberal paradigm of environmentalism that insists that environmental protection not undermine economic growth.

Around the world more than 3 billion people are directly or indirectly dependent on our oceans for food, medicines, shelter, and livelihood. Industries like sea food, tourism and transportation provides livelihood to millions of people around the globe. Due to climate change and various human activities like oil spills, dumping of waste and extensive sea bed mining, the quality of the oceans as well as the quality and health of various flora and fauna inhabiting the oceans have been adversely affected. This in turn causes harm to the human beings and their health thus violating their basic human right to a healthy life. A clean, safe and healthy environment is a precondition for overall wellbeing of every human being. The Indian Judiciary has encouraged an innovative approach to environmental rights in the country. Judicial activism has provided impetus to campaign against various environmental pollution issues arising in the country in recent times. The Indian Judiciary has interpreted Art. 21 to give it an expanded meaning to bring within its ambit the right of every citizen to a clean, safe and healthy environment. The Judiciary while showing keen interest in the environmental issues affecting various aspects of the life of human beings passed appropriate orders, directions and writs against persons adversely affecting the environment. The Parliament of India has also made efforts to protect and preserve the marine environment by ratifying various international agreements, treaties and conventions. Currently efforts are being made at local, national and international level to build Marine Protected Areas (MPAs); local communities are also standing up for their right to healthy environment and to address the issue of accumulation of plastic and such other toxic substances in the oceans. But still a lot of ocean conservation efforts, through laws designed to manage fisheries, land based pollution, formation of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), strict regulation of various hazardous industrial activities and processes, anti-dumping laws and coastal waste management laws are required to address the issue of marine environment pollution. Moreover lack of awareness among citizens is also a major impediment in the field of marine environment conservation which also needs to be addressed adequately.
