Why is it important?
Ocean Coast has been more impactade than Estuarine Coast (Amazon River). We found that the water surfaces experienced distinct and significant variations, mainly influenced by the expansion of soy cultivation and sea level rise (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the oceanic region had a greater simultaneous impact from anthropogenic and hydroclimatic variables (R2aj = 90.55%) than the estuarine region (R2aj = 62.46%). We conclude that considerable hydrological changes have been occurring on the coast of Amapá, and thus this region should be a priority in terms of management and conservation of its vulnerable coastal ecosystems.
Perspectives
This article was the result of the guidance of a master's student, the first author, who did an excellent job of surveying the basic characteristics of the river basins in the state of Amapá.
