Abstract

The village of Ajuruteua is located in a beach of the northeast littoral of Para State at 36 km from
Bragança city and presents a population of 392 people living there (2004), from which the majority of
them are fishermen and salesmen. In general, the income sources of these households are insignificant
as a consequence of the technological delay and lower professional qualification. The fast and disordered
way in which territorial occupation of this coastal zone started in 80´s and it is associated to precarious infrastructures where basic sanitary facilities are absent and the public illumination is deficient. A
coastal management plan is indispensable to improve the use and occupation of the studied coastal
zone and also to improve the life quality of the local population.
