Recifes artificiais marinhos e desmantelamento de navios: uma estratégia de desenvolvimento sustentável

Abstract

The oceans are under strong pressure due to the maritime transport of world trade goods. Brazil's coastal ecosystem known as the Blue Amazon requires complex management, due to its large extension and rich variety, which poses great challenges to the Brazilian State. A new threat appears on the Brazilian coast and is evident around the Guanabara Bay, where there are dozens of ships at anchor, presenting several problems of different natures that make it impossible to navigate normally. In the Armed Forces of Brasil, aircraft, combat vehicles and ships have been and are being alienated and require a viable solution that takes into account the preservation of the environment, while at the same time producing benefits for society, generating development and wealth. This work highlights the interest in the development of Artificial Marine Reefs through the Dismantling of ships and other structures that are in a similar situation of decommissioning. Another opportunity that arises is the use of controlled wrecks, such as Artificial Marine Reefs, among other solutions, aimed at preserving, protecting and defending the marine environment. This proposal aims to offer a viable solution, respecting the environment, as well as contributing to its preservation. Observing the Federal Constitution, the National Defense Policy, the National Defense Strategy, and other Brazilian norms related to the subject, the role of the Government, institutions and national companies, with regard to the development of the Blue Economy in the area of the Blue Amazon. In this sense, there is also the proposal to create a National Strategy, which is a relevant solution for the country through sustainable development.
