Caracterização dos serviços ecossistêmicos da Baía de Ilha Grande - RJ

Ilha Grande Bay, a Brazilian marine biodiversity hotspot, offers critical ecosystem services but faces persistent threats from economic development. A 2022 study by Silva et al. reveals that the bay's ecological resilience hinges on its ability to sustain these services despite human-induced pressures. The research characterizes current ecosystem uses—such as fisheries and tourism—as a foundational step toward assessing long-term sustainability. By analyzing historical, spatial, and temporal environmental data, the team identifies key vulnerabilities while proposing management tools to mitigate degradation. Their approach combines ecological mapping with socio-economic factors, offering a blueprint for balancing conservation and development in this UNESCO-listed site.
