Mangrove, Socio-environmental conflict, Environmental impact, Sustainability, Sustainable Development Goals (ODS)
The economic boom associated with other factors such as population growth and the lack of policies and actions aimed environmental valorization and preservation in recent years has led to an intensive exploration of mangrove ecosystems and sometimes their removal. These ecosystems promote a diversity of products and services, where the underestimation of their total values and impacts through anthropic activities, are the greatest influencers to expand the losses and degradation mangrove ecosystems. Its economic importance is directly related to the local culture and the way in which artisanal fishermen use this environment for their professional subsistence activities is the indigenous community of the Jaraguá Rio Tinto-PB village, that live directly and indirectly from the natural resources extracted from the mangroves of the Mamanguape River. The present study selects the anthropic activities that occur in the Area of Relevant Ecological Interest (ARIE) and Environmental Protection Area (APA) of the Mamanguape River, correlated with Sustainable Development Goals (ODS), Agenda 2030. Adapting to a list of sustainability indicators contained in the targets for achieving the (ODS), so that they can be applied and validated, for the progress of this region towards sustainable development, that this system of sustainability indicators can be applied, providing the construction of an index of sustainability for the region around the (ARIE) and (APA) of the Mamanguape River.
