Abstract

The coastal lagoons are instruments in maintaining the climatic and hydrological conditions. In the North Fluminense region, they are too representative to be linked to regional development. However, the anthropic changes have interfered in the quality of these ecosystems. This article aims at a bibliographical review and consequent characterization of the Açu, Salgada, Grussaí and Iquipari lagoons located in São João da Barra (Brazil). In this sense, it was noticed that the urbanization around the Grussaí lagoon and the absence of sanitary sewage damaging too much the aquatic balance. On the other hand, conservation units act as important instruments for the preservation of the lagoon systems of the region.
