  • Celebrating 125 Years of National Geographic
    EpicSOUTH AMERICA CELEBRATING 125 YEARS OF NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC AN EXHILARATING & COMPREHENSIVE VoyaGE ABoarD NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER | 2013 TM As astonishing as the photos in National Geographic. And an exhilarating life adventure: A Lindblad-National Geographic South America Expedition TM Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic have joined forces to further inspire the world through expedition travel. Our collaboration in exploration, research, technology and conservation will provide extraordinary travel experi- ences and disseminate geographic knowledge around the globe. EPIC “Pertaining to a long poetic composition, usually centered upon a hero.” In this case, a continent. Dear Traveler, This expedition, Epic South America, is indeed a long poetic composition—from 10° north latitude to 35° south. It would be a 2,700 nautical mile voyage on South America’s west coast but, because of what we fondly refer to as “Brazil’s bump,” it’s about 4,000 nautical miles on the east coast. It visits eight distinctly different countries with spectacularly diverse geography—physically, culturally and naturally. For reasons that make little sense to me personally, South America played a very limited role in historic teachings when I went to school. We were Old World-centric, and rarely, if ever, discussed the vibrant, turbulent and complex history of this New World continent. So, on this voyage you can fill the gap so clearly left in the curriculum many of us experienced. To celebrate 125 years of the National Geographic Society, a most essential institution, we have assembled a most remarkable aggregate of staff and guest speakers, including my friends National Geographic Fellow Tom Lovejoy, and National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence Wade Davis and Johan Reinhard.

  • From Residential Tourism to Tourist Real Estate Complexes: the Appropriation of the Coastal Zone in the Northeast of Brazil by Tourist Real Estate Activities
    FROM RESIDENTIAL TOURISM TO TOURIST REAL ESTATE COMPLEXES: THE APPROPRIATION OF THE COASTAL ZONE IN THE NORTHEAST OF BRAZIL BY TOURIST REAL ESTATE ACTIVITIES PLÍNIO GUIMARÃES DE SOUSA1 ESDRAS MATHEUS MATIAS2 VANICE SANTIAGO FRAGOSO SELVA3 Introduction Tourism is an activity that besides provoking studies and reflections, has also provi- ded space for political and economic disputes in favour of a tourist market that sells space and cultures (ADRIÃO, 2003). New residential, mobility and leisure formats (ALEDO, 2008), an impactful proliferation of the real estate phenomenon throughout the world (MATTEUCCI, 2011), and the reurbanization of rural spaces (CONTRERAS, 2010), amongst other factors that are more global and regional, have produced the tourism of second residences over time. In Brazil’s case, as the century has gone by, the coastal zone of the country has been the target of diverse forms of aggression as a consequence, principally, of the social, economic, political, cultural and environmental transformations resulting from the discourse of development. Notably on the northeast coast, vaunted as the “Brazilian Cancun” (Spinelli, 2007), the strength of tourist activity as an instrument of development has become even greater, especially due to the extraordinary natural potential, geographic location, climate conditions and even due to the natural hospital- ity, which is so characteristic of this region’s inhabitants. This reinforces the argument 1. Professor of the Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Pernambuco (IFPE).

  • Distribution and Potential Causes of Sea Turtle Strandings in the State of Rio De Janeiro, Southern Brazil

Information collected from sea turtles found dead or debilitated (termed strandings) can provide valuable insights into these threats. In recent years, extensive beach monitoring projects implemented along the entire coast of Brazil (7,367 km) have facilitated data collection on regional sea turtle strandings. Here, we compiled stranding data from the Santos Basin in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 19 September 2016 to 19 September 2019. During this period, we recorded 3,957 sea turtle strandings of which 3,508 were dead turtles. We recorded five turtle species including 3,587 Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas), 242 Loggerhead Turtles (Caretta caretta), 76 Olive Ridley Turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea), 18 Leatherback Turtles (Dermochelys coriacea), eight Hawksbill Turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata), and 26 unidentified individuals.

  • Tourism and Sustainability in Brazil
    SO M O Tourism and sustainability in Brazil The tourism value chain in Porto de Galinhas, Northeast Brazil October 2006 Bart Slob & Joseph Wilde This report examines the tourism industry in Brazil. Using the case study of Porto de Galinhas, a small village in Brazil’s Northeast, the authors analyse sustainability issues in the tourism industry and map the value chain of tourism to Brazil. Porto de Galinhas has 7,000 permanent residents, but during weekends and holidays, the village’s population triples. Porto de Galinhas has experienced a boom in tourism over the past five years, and the village is struggling to harness the benefits of this growth without losing its socio-cultural identity or compromising the local environment. Many local entrepreneurs and workers acknowledge that tourism is key to the development of the region, and they want to ensure the sustainability of the industry, both in terms of retaining as much value as possible in the region and guaranteeing the native population’s future prosperity and wellbeing. The case of Porto de Galinhas is in many ways illustrative of the challenges faced by small and mid-size communities in Brazil as an effect of the rapid growth of tourism. This is why SOMO, the Netherlands Committee for IUCN and the Rio de Janeiro-based research organisation CICLO decided to conduct research on the value chain of tourism in Porto de Galinhas. Value chain analysis and research on the sustainability of the Brazilian tourism industry are the cornerstones of this SOMO report. The authors give recommendations on how companies, local entrepreneurs, governments and tourists can act to ensure that tourism contributes to the sustainable development of local communities in Brazil and elsewhere in the world.

Carvalho ([email protected]) ABSTRACT. The distribution of phytoplankton in a coastal gradient located in the pelagic area of the Maranhão continental shelf was analyzed. Samples were collected in six bimonthly campaigns with seven sampling stations from November 2013 to September 2014. Simultaneously, environmental parameters were obtained, such as rainfall, salinity, conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen, suspended particulate matter (SPM), water temperature, water transparency, nitrite, phosphate and silicate concentrations. The values of SPM showed a decreasing profile toward the ocean. The nutrients showed a clear seasonal cycle. The pH maintained alkaline during all the study period. There was an increase in electrical conductivity in direction of the ocean, the same pattern was observed for salinity. Chlorophyll-a concentration presented the highest values during the dry season and the lowest in the rainy one. The total chlorophyll-a also showed a decreasing profile toward the ocean in both dry and rainy season and was very low if compared with other studies in northern Brazil.
