Análise da degradação ambiental no entorno da Laguna Mundaú no bairro de Ponta Grossa – Maceió/AL

Abstract

The article analyzes the environmental degradation caused by the disordered occupation of the areas bathed by the Mundaú lagoon. It is known that the irresponsible disposal of household waste, solid residues resulting from the fishing activity and extraction of the sururu (shells), as well as the sanitary sewage, has contributed to the pollution of the Laguna Mundaú, directly affecting the quality of life of the residents of the neighborhood of Ponta Grossa. The general objective of the study is to clarify the population living in the region, about the importance and necessity of preserving the environment, thus guaranteeing the wellbeing of the community, since a large part of the people who live there depend economically on fishing. It is imperative to instill good practices related to environmental education that can minimize degradation. Thus, it is necessary to reflect on the packing of the garbage to take advantage of the regular collection that is operationalized by the munípio and appropriate disposal of the shells of the sururu mollusk. Initially a literary review is carried out with reading of texts and bibliographical researches. In a second moment there will be documentation by photos, followed by the visit to the site to collect data, recording the daily life of the riverside population of Laguna Mundaú, in the neighborhood of Ponta Grossa. Through an interview with the fishermen and fishermen, the aim is to identify the difficulties and expectations regarding the future of their activities. With the collection of data and the systematization and reflection of books, scientific journals and scholarly works, the beginning of the textual production, with the preparation of reports and results, has begun. It can be concluded that there is a need to expand knowledge about the problem, as well as to guide the residents of the researched neighborhood about the importance of preserving the environment for the survival of economic activity.
