  • Mesozooplankton of an Impacted Bay in North Eastern Brazil
    485 Vol.47, n. 3 : pp. 485-493, July 2004 ISSN 1516-8913 Printed in Brazil BRAZILIAN ARCHIVES OF BIOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGY AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL Mesozooplankton of an Impacted Bay in North Eastern Brazil Andréa Pinto Silva, Sigrid Neumann-Leitão∗, Ralf Schwamborn, Lúcia Maria de Oliveira Gusmão and Tâmara de Almeida e Silva Departamento de Oceanografia; Universidade Federal de Pernambuco; Av. Arquitetura s/n; Cidade Universitária; 50730-540; [email protected]; Recife - PE - Brazil ABSTRACT Mesozooplankton abundance and distribution at Suape Bay, Pernambuco, was studied to assess the impacts caused by the construction of an internal port to increase the capacity of the Suape Port Complex. Zooplankton sampling was done at 3 stations during the dry (November-December/1997) and rainy (April-May/1998) seasons. A plankton net with 300 µm mesh size was used. Wet weight plankton biomass ranged from 44 mg.m-3 to 3,638 mg.m-3. Forty- five macrozooplankton taxa were registered. The most abundant was Copepoda. Among copepods, Acartia lilljeborgi, Parvocalanus crassirostris, Oithona hebes, Corycaeus (C.) speciosus and Temora turbinata were most frequent. Minimum abundance was 9 ind.m-3 and maximum was 2,532 ind.m-3. Average species diversity was 2.55 bits.ind-1. As a whole, Suape Bay has been under severe environmental stress and it seemed reasonable to assume that the recent modifications of the basin have resulted in changes in species composition and trophic structure, with an increase in marine influence. Key words: Mesozooplankton, Copepoda, human impacts, Suape Port Complex INTRODUCTION After the port’s implementation, ecological studies carried out from 1986 to 1994 by the Departament On the coast of Pernambuco State, Brazil, an of Oceanography of the Federal University of industrial port complex was created in 1979/1980 Pernambuco focussed on the estuary of the Ipojuca as an attempt to solve the collapse of the State’s River, the main freshwater source in the area, in economy.

  • Review of Dredging Activities for Entry Channel and Harbor Basin of Promar S.A
    Review of dredging activities for entry channel and harbor basin of Promar S.A. shipyard, Suape, Brazil Destroyed mangroves in front of the Estaleiro Atlântico Sul on the Island of Tatuoca, Suape harbor (Picture Both ENDS) Access dam to the Estaleiro Atlântico Sul blocking the free flow of water in and out of the Tatuoca estuary, Suape harbor (Picture Both ENDS) Author: Wiert Wiertsema, Senior Policy Advisor Published: February 2013 SUMMARY Review of dredging activities for entry channel and harbor basin of Promar S.A. shipyard, Suape, Brazil From 12-18 August 2012, Both ENDS visited the Suape sea port, some 40 km south of the city of Recife in northeastern Brazil. This report reviews the potential social and environmental impacts of dredging activities for an entry channel and harbor basin for the construction of the Promar shipyard. This project is implemented by the Dutch dredging company Van Oord with an export credit insurance policy of Atradius Dutch State Business (Atradius DSB). Van Oord has been involved in dredging activities in Suape since 1995. In addition to the dredging project for Promar, early 2012 Van Oord also received an export credit insurance policy on behalf of the Dutch government for the deepening of the outer access channel for Suape port. The report describes the clearly dramatic impacts of the dredging activities taking place in the Suape area, such as the loss of livelihoods for local fishing communities, the destruction of coral reefs and forests, and forced evictions. These impacts add on to other problems related to the rapid industrialization of the Suape harbor region, such as violence, sexual exploitation and the disruption of the social fabric.

  • São Francisco Valley: Vitivini Culture Activities in the Brazilian Unthinkable Semiarid Climate and Its Challenges
    International Journal of Business and Management Review Vol.4, No.10, pp.1-13, December 2016 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) SÃO FRANCISCO VALLEY: VITIVINI CULTURE ACTIVITIES IN THE BRAZILIAN UNTHINKABLE SEMIARID CLIMATE AND ITS CHALLENGES Dr. Murillo Dias Ecole Superieure de Commerce Rennes - France Hidiana Santos, MBA Fundação Getulio Vargas, Brazil Marcio Pezzella, MSc Fundação Getulio Vargas, Brazil Fernando Marchezini, MSc Fundação Getulio Vargas, Brazil ABSTRACT: Located at the northeastern region in Brazil, the São Francisco Valley has recently drawn a great deal of attention from the world wine industry, due to its successful activities regarding the unthinkable latitude and weather conditions for wine business. This single case study investigates the challenges, pitfalls, and the success of the São Francisco Valley economic acitivites, such as the transposition of the São Francisco river infrastructure project, here highlighted as a Brazilian development model for the northeast agriculture. Usually, winemakers are concentrated in the north and south temperate zones (latitudes of 34° to 45°N, and 31°a 38° S, respectively). The São Francisco Valley is located between Pernambuco and Bahia States, in a semiarid climate (caatinga), at 8o S latitude. Against all odds, the São Francisco Valley was responsible for 95 % of the table grapes exported from Brazil in 2015, with a production of 7 million liters of still wine (70% or 2,8 million liters, sparkling wines), within 700 hectares of cultivated area. It is also responsible for 15% of the Brazilian still wine production. with the incredible milestone of five crops produced each two years.

  • Suape: the Jewel of the Economy of Pernambuco Suape Port And
    Suape: The jewel of the economy of Pernambuco Suape Port and Industrial Complex was installed in 1978 in the State of Pernambuco, Northeast Brazil. State Law No. 7,763 created the company SUAPE – Port and Industrial Complex, to administer the implantation of the industrial district, the development of works and the exploration of port activities. In 1983, the Port of Suape started to operate through the alcohol handling by Petrobras, which used the newly inaugurated Liquid Bulks Pier, the PGL - 1. From 2007 to 2014, more than R$ 50 billion were invested in the Complex for the implementation of structuring enterprises. The Port and Industrial Complex, during this period, experienced its consolidation phase as one of the largest and best investment centers in Brazil. At this time, Suape experienced a consolidation phase as one of the largest and best investment centers in Brazil. In 2008, Atlântico Sul Shipyard was installed, one of the main projects of the Port of Suape. In 2013 the second shipyard was built in Pernambuco, the Vard Promar. A year later, the Abreu e Lima Refinery was inaugurated, starting operation of its first refining train. In 2016, the Complex received more than R$ 187 million in private investments, which generated more than 300 new jobs. In contrast to the crisis affecting several sectors of the country, the Port of Suape closed the year 2016, commemorating the installation of new structuring projects such as the new Agrovia Sugar Terminal of Odebrecht Transport, which began operations in December last year and now have the permission to handle another grains.

  • Plankton Disturbance at Suape Estuarine Area
    Transactions on Ecology and the Environment vol 27 © 1999 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3541 Plankton disturbance at Suape estuarine area - Pernambuco - Brazil after a port complex implantation S. Neumann-Leitao, M. L. Koening, S. J. Macedo, C. Medeiros, K. Muniz and F. A. N. Feitosa Department of Oceanography of the Federal University of Pernambuco, Campus Universitdrio, 50.679-901, Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil Abstract The plankton structure was investigated at the estuary of the River Ipojuca after 1 0 years implantation of a Port Complex. Plankton was sampled in one fixed station. Concurrent hydrological, climatological and chlorophyll a data were taken. The course of the river alteration resulted into an estuary that tends to evolves from a classical towards a coastal lagoon type. Chlorophyll a presented low values for an estuarine mangrove area. Plankton high diversity (> 3.0 bits.ind"*) can be explained by the spatial heterogeneity, although a general biodiversity decrease was registered after port implantation. Phytoplankton presented 98 taxa outranking diatoms (72 species). Zooplankton presented 63 taxa outranking rotifers (29 species) and copepods (21 species). Less than 5% of these taxa were very frequent. Irregular fluctuations in plankton densities were observed with a sharp abundance decrease after port implantation. The community was dominated by marine eurihaline species with a high proportion of littoral taxa. Meroplanktonic larval recruitment was reduced by landing and dredging. The anthropic impacts affected the system balance. 1 Introduction A Port Complex was implanted in the south coast of Pernambuco State, Noth eastern Brazil in 1979/1980 as a solution to the State economy collapse.

  • Suape—First Lng Entry in South America Suape—La Premiere Entree Du Gnl En Amerique Du Sud
    SUAPE—FIRST LNG ENTRY IN SOUTH AMERICA SUAPE—LA PREMIERE ENTREE DU GNL EN AMERIQUE DU SUD Cesar Dias Ramos - Director Antonio Assumpção - Director Paula Kovarsky - Business Analyst GNL do Nordeste Rio de Janeiro, Brasil ABSTRACT Brazil, one of the few countries largely hydro-based (over 90%) is about to embark in a major gas-fired powergen program. The Government decision of increasing natural gas participation in the country’s energy matrix associated to consistent power demand growth, higher than 5% per annum, are the main drivers for this program. The North- eastern region of Brazil where the hydro potential is basically exhausted and local gas reserves are insufficient to support long term supply contracts will require a particular solution to comply with future energy requirements such as the importation of LNG. The first LNG Receiving and Regaseification Terminal to be built in Brazil and in South America, will be located at the Suape Port, State of Pernambuco. Aiming at developing this project Petrobras and Shell have recently incorporated a 50/50% Joint Venture named GNL do Nordeste (NE LNG). LNG supplies are likely to come from the Atlantic basin liquefaction plants. The implementation of the Suape Terminal and the introduction of LNG as an alternative source of energy in a poor and dry region will extrapolate the common commercial boundaries of similar projects with significant social implications such as the release of water currently used for power generation to irrigation and other uses. The paper will discuss the challenges associated to the introduction of LNG (for Power Generation purposes) in a market with such unique characteristics mainly due to the enormous seasonality related to river regimes in tropical areas.
