Shared Heritage Risk in the Blue Amazon. Gamboa de Baixo Project Retrofit

A groundbreaking discovery reveals the 1831 LPM, a pivotal legal instrument for marine land demarcation in Brazil's Gamboa de Baixo area, within Salvador da Bahia's Historic Centre (CHS). This study highlights the dual threats of real estate speculation and high-end nautical tourism development to the site's integrity, while also exploring its contested heritage status. The research employs a multifaceted approach, combining fieldwork, bibliographical reviews, secondary sources, legislation, and topographies to analyze historical, legal, and technical contexts. By proposing a 'retrofit' strategy, the study aims to mitigate risks that undermine the site's protection, offering a model for safeguarding UNESCO World Heritage Sites facing similar challenges.
