Abstract

Coastal lagoons are areas of natural drainage for rainwater, are part of coastal ecosystems and are an attraction for recreational activities. The proximity of coastal lagoons to urban centers causes these ecosystems to be highly impacted. In the municipality of Rio das Ostras mass tourism in these areas causes environmental degradation. This work carried out a bibliographic review with the aim of defining the most appropriate methods for surveying the impact of waste in the coastal lagoons of Rio das Ostras. Methods are compared and a favorable conclusion is drawn regarding a method used in the coastal lagoons of the Baltic Sea.
