Coastal Environments of the Atlantic Forest - Phase 3

Develop a management plan for the Extractive Marine Reserve of Canavieiras so that this area effectively contributes to the conservation of local biodiversity and expands the network of protected areas in the Central biodiversity conservation corridor. The project specifically targets an important mangrove crab species, the caranguejo-uçá (Ucides cordatus cordatus), one of the principle fishing resources of the area.
