Ocupação dos solos em terrenos marginais às lagoas costeiras: mudanças e perspectivas ambientais frente à expansão urbana - o caso da lagoa de Jacarepaguá (Rio de Janeiro)

O objetivo do trabalho é analisar a lagoa de Jacarepaguá e a ocupação no seu entorno de forma multitemporal, contribuindo para o melhor entendimento das atuais condições ambientais da Baixada de Jacarepaguá. A metodologia adotada buscou identificar mudanças físicas do meio a partir 1980 através da elaboração, comparação e análise de mapas de ocupação e uso dos solos relativos aos anos de 1984, 1992, 2001 e 2010, e da identificação da qualidade da água da lagoa de Jacarepaguá, das suas condições de profundidade, tamanho do espelho dágua e de sua relação com a população local. Com isso foi possível retratar formas de integração entre os processos naturais e sociais em um dado espaço-tempo assim como estabelecer tendências futuras desse ambiente. Os resultados mostram que de tempos em tempos há uma refuncionalização do espaço, que se reflete não só na conformação dos terrenos marginais alagadiços mas também nas condições físicas da própria lagoa de Jacarepaguá. Seu espelho dágua vem sendo confinado pelas formas de ocupação nas áreas das bacias fluviais e nos seus terrenos marginais (impermeabilização, aterros e obras de drenagem) fazendo com que haja uma estabilidade relativa na sua dimensão areal e também no volume de suas águas. A lagoa apresenta dados históricos de poluição por esgoto doméstico que têm acelerado suas condições naturais de assoreamento e comprometido à qualidade de suas águas. E mesmo havendo projetos e obras de saneamento para o local, verifica-se que tem havido um aumento da poluição da lagoa principalmente na sua porção oeste, conforme o resultado das análises realizadas com os dados temporais disponíveis de DBO, fósforo, Nitrogênio Kj, OD e salinidade. Isto pode ser explicado pela tendência atual da expansão urbana rumo a essa direção. Constatou-se que apesar de, por algum tempo, os tipos de terreno terem condicionado as formas de ocupação, atualmente o processo se inverteu, sendo a ocupação indutora e recondicionante da estruturação do meio. São apresentadas e caracterizadas diversas formas e respectivos tipos de usos do solo na área. Conclui-se que as condições ambientais da lagoa de Jacarepaguá e suas perspectivas futuras dependem atualmente mais da forma com que a sociedade quer e pretende incorpora-la ao seu ambiente do que da dinâmica natural do sistema físico do qual faz parte.

Chaines de traitement des statistiques de pêche artisanale. II - annexes et codages

The different coding methods concerning artisanal collective fishing in the Ebrié lagoon, are exposed. For each computer program one example is proposed.

Nôtre lagune en peril: l 'écosystème lagunaire Ebrié bouleversé par les interventions humaines

On their way to a better economical situation, developing countries are now starting taking advantage of the technologies, which made developed countries successful. In doing so, they are starting being confronted to the same ecological problems. Such is the case in Côte d'Ivoire of the Ebrié lagoon in the Abidjan region, the delicate ecosystem of which is now in danger.

Eléments nutritifs et production primaire dans les lagunes du Côte d'Ivoire : cycle annuel

This paper collects most of the information gathered between October 1974 and July 1976 within the framework of a research program concerning the hydrobioclimate of ivorian lagoons and especially the Ebrié lagoon. Monthly surveys concerning the latter were carried out during 1975. The following parameters - and their vertical distribution wherever it had a meaning - were systematically gathered in a system of fifty-five stations: Transparency (Secchi), Temperature, Salinity, Chlorophylla, Dissolved oxygen, phosphate, nitrate, nitrite. These data provide an outline of the annual cycle of nutrients and primary production of the Ivoirian lagoons

Statistiques de pêche en Lagune Aby (Côte d'Ivoire): la pêche a l'epervier (1988)

Cast net fishing is a relatively important socio-economíc activity in Aby lagoon. About 516 fishermen practice this activity for an annual total production estimated at 336 millions CFA, which represents 54,000 CFA per month. The catches are essentially composed of Cichlidae (88,7 %) and Mugilidae (2,8 %). The annual production represents 15 % of that of other types of gears used (beach seines, syndicat seines and gill nets).

La pêche artisanale en lagune Aby-Tendo-Ehy (Côte d'Ivoire): premières estimations de la production

This work is the result of one year of investigations on the artisanal fisheries of the Aby-Tendo-Ehy lagoon. The structure of fish catches varies with the fisheries zones and the fishing gears, but is relatively stable all year along, in the spite of the existence of some species with well worked seasonary cycle. The composition of beach seines catches, which are relatively unselective fishing gears, is: - in the Tendo lagoon (oligohaline) and Ehy lagoon (freshwater): Chrysichthys spp. 35.1%, Tilapia spp. 18.9%, Acentrogobius schlegelii 15.7%, Ethmalosa fimbriata 12% (those are two seasonary species), Tylochromis jentinki 8.8%, Elops lacerta 5.6%, other species 3.9%. - in the south of the Aby lagoon, under tide influence, Ethmalosa fimbriata 79%, Elops lacerta 12%, Chrysichthys spp. 6%, other species 3%. A preliminary estimation of 7900 tons for this lagoon artisanal fisheries total production is made for 1979 (from representative fishing villages) and can be shared as follows: - beach seines: 5300 tons; - purse seines and "syndicat" seines: 2600 tons; individual fishing: not estimated, it mostly concerns fill nets.

La pêche artisanale en lagune Aby (Côte d'Ivoire): analyse des captures en 1988 et 1989

The exploitation of fish stocks in Aby lagoon was marked by an increase of total fishing effort, yields and therefore by the increase of total production. Fishing effort evolution was due to: the increasing of the number of beach seines which has increased from 26 in 1987 to 32 in 1988, the reappearance of syndicat seines and finally the importance of fishing teams activity.

Lagune de Biétri: bathymétrie, courants et taux de renouvellement des eaux

An estimation of the currents in the Biétri bay is given (tidal currents and currents due to the wind). They are lower than 10 cm.s-1 in the whole lagoon, and near of 5 cm.s-1 in the eastern part. The measures of salinity and tidal observations give the average rate of water renewal, respectively 0.20 and 0.14 d-1 in the central and eastern areas.

Bibliographie des lagunes et du littoral de Côte d'Ivoire (Afrique de l'Ouest)

The present bibliography collects references on lagoon and coastal environments in Côte d'Ivoire. It is mainly based on: - the draft bibliography prepared by Charles-Dominique and Durand in 1979, edited in the Archives Scientifiques du Centre de Recherches Océanographiques d'Abidjan (vol. 5 no. 2); - the synthesis on the marine environment, published in 1993 (LeLoeuff, Marchal and Amon-Kothias editors); - and the synthesis on the lagoon environment, published in 1994 (Durand, Dufour, Guiral and Zabi editors). In spite of a careful check of the available documents, it is more than possible that references are lacking or erroneous. That's why this bibliography is still a draft, and the author will be glad to receive complements and/or corrections from lectors. After these contributions, a more comprehensive version will be proposed. Remarks can be sent to this e-mail: arfi@ortsom.orstom.fr or to the postal address.

Ecologie benthique de la Lagune Ebrié. Théorie sur la méthode du DR' pour la mise en évidence de biocoenoses

The theoretical aspect of the DR' method was presented. It suggestes the association of some characteristic transects, the organisms of which will be used to describe the first biocoenoses of the Ebrié lagoon.

Méthodes simples de determination du CO2 total et du carbone organique dissous en eau saumâtre

Total CO2 of brackish water (Ebrié lagoon) is measured with a simple method: degassing and trapping CO2 in NaOh solution, the conductivity of which is a function of the trapped CO2 quantity. A relation CO2 versus salinity is deduced; it is nearly the same as the one deduced from CO2 measurements performed from alkalinity. Dissolved organic C is evaluated with a CHN analyser by evaporating 0.5 ml of acidified sample. Variation coefficient is near 10% for the lagoon values.

Analyses physico-chimiques des eaux de la Lagune Ebrié effectuées de 1979 à 1981 au cours des programmes "Variabilité interannuelle" et "Baie de Biétri"

Physico-chemical data collections aimed to assess the interannual variability of the lagoon hydroclimate and the impact of an airport dam on the water quality of the Ebrié lagoon.

Synthèse des travaux effectués au CRO sur les végétations envahissantes flottantes (1985-1990). Propositions et recommandations

The present document represents a synthesis of the scientific knowledge gathered by the CRO in the years 1985-1990, and related to the proliferation of aquatic macrophytes, commonly called floating aquatic weeds, in the Ebrié lagoon.

Suivi cartographique de l'expansion des macrophytes envahissant le système lagunaire Ebrié (Côte d'Ivoire)

Remote mapping were realised from December 1986 to September 1989 to describe the seasonal evolution of macrophytes colonizing the surface waters of the eastern sector of the Ebrié lagoon. The vegetal cover of this sector and associated lagoons is essentially composed of Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth). Its expansion is favored by the decrease in the salinity of the lagoon waters which is due to rain falls. Its migration through the lagoon environment is ensured by the overflow of the Comoé river. The opening of the Bassam inlet induced its temporary disappearence from the newly created estuarian zone.

Contribution à l'étude des modifications hydro-sédimentaires consécutives à la réouverture artificielle de l'embouchure du Comoé à Grand-Bassam

The Bassam artificial inlet was opened (in September 22, 1987) in order to revacuate offshore invasive aquatic plants. This has considerably modified the hydro-sedimentary environment of the lagoonal domain at Grand-Bassam. Tidal currents effect has confered the lagoonal waters an estuarine feature, the saline intrusion (25-35%o) increased beyond the Moossou bridges up to the confluence of the Comoe river. This has led to a cleaning of the river lower course and above all to the bottoms of the lagoon, which were previously confined. The remobilization of mud (from lagoonal bottoms around Bouet Island) evacuated offshore, has exposed lagoonal and oceanic sandy features. This new system remains fragile, with the seasonal (low river-flow) clogging.
