Resumo
O município do Guarujá, localizado no Estado de São Paulo/BR, possui grande apelo turístico, sendo suas praias e as áreas de Mata Atlântica preservadas suas principais atrações de lazer. Nesse sentido, se torna essencial para manutenção do turismo e saúde da população do município garantir a saúde das praias e sensibilizar seus usuários quanto a importância do seu papel para intervirem nas decisões sobre o uso adequado da orla marinha em parceria com o poder público. Assim, idealizou-se o Projeto Areia Viva, que consiste na elaboração de um modelo de monitoramento da saúde de nove praias do município do Guarujá e na utilização destes dados para ações de informação e educação ambiental, bem como de gestão da orla.
O foco do estudo foi avaliar a qualidade sanitária da areia e da água da praia, em que são monitorados patógenos como Coliformes Totais e enterococos intestinais. Esse monitoramento utiliza amostras quinzenais ao longo de um ano, considerando as modificações dos parâmetros ambientais que ocorrem neste período.
O projeto conta com uma estratégia inovadora em sua execução, cuja realização é feita pela parceria entre o Instituto do Mar da Universidade Federal de São Paulo (Unifesp) e a Prefeitura do Guarujá, com apoio de um conjunto de condomínios residenciais do município.
Esta pesquisa avaliou a criação deste modelo de monitoramento, que foi composto por diferentes etapas que envolveram o planejamento, a implementação de parcerias, a montagem do laboratório, a formação/treinamento da equipe para coleta e análise da areia e água das praias, monitoramento para o diagnóstico da saúde das praias e, por fim, atividades de Informação e Educação Ambiental. Para realização das análises bacteriológicas foi montado um laboratório em uma escola pública municipal de ensino básico e para realizá-las foram selecionadas três alunas do curso técnico em Meio Ambiente e em Química desta escola, que receberam orientação e treinamento de professores da Unifesp. Para auxiliar na rotina laboratorial, também foi selecionada uma aluna do Instituto do Mar – Unifesp, que acompanhou as estudantes na rotina laboratorial e que relatou sistematicamente o desenvolvimento das diferentes etapas aos professores da Universidade. Após três meses do início do projeto, as parcerias e todas as rotinas para coletas e laboratoriais foram estabelecidas e foi dado início ao monitoramento das praias. O sucesso na implementação do projeto atesta a potência e viabilidade de unir esfera pública, ensino básico, universidade e iniciativa privada em um projeto que compreende ensino e pesquisa em prol da sociedade.
The municipality of Guarujá, located in the State of São Paulo/BR, has great touristic appeal, its beaches and preserved Atlantic Forest areas are its main leisure attractions. In this sense, it becomes essential for the maintenance of tourism and the health of the municipality's population to guarantee the health of the beaches and raise awareness among users about the importance of their role in intervening in decisions about the appropriate use of the seafront in partnership with public authorities. Thus, the Areia Viva Project was created, which consists of developing a health monitoring model for nine beaches in Guarujá and using this data for information and environmental education actions, as well as waterfront management. The focus of the study is to evaluate the sanitary quality of the beach's sand and water, where pathogens such as Total Coliforms and intestinal enterococci are monitored. This monitoring uses fortnightly samples over the course of a year, considering the changes in environmental parameters that occur during this period. The project has an innovative strategy in its execution, which is carried out through a partnership between the Instituto do Mar of the Federal University of São Paulo (Unifesp) and the Guarujá City Hall, with the support of a group of residential condominiums in the municipality. This research evaluated the creation of this monitoring model, which was composed of different stages that involved planning, implementing partnerships, setting up the laboratory, team formation/training to collect and analyze sand and water from beaches, monitoring for diagnosis of beach health and, finally, Environmental Information and Education activities. To carry out the bacteriological analyzes a laboratory was set up in a municipal public elementary school and to carry them out, three students from the technical course in Environment and Chemistry at this school were selected, who received guidance and training from Unifesp teachers. To assist in the laboratory routine, a student from Instituto do Mar – Unifesp was also selected, who accompanies the students in the laboratory routine and who systematically reports the development of the different stages to the University professors. Three months after the beginning of the project, partnerships and all collection and laboratory routines were established, and beach monitoring began. The success in implementing the project attests to the power and viability of uniting the public sphere, basic education, universities, and the private sector in a project that comprises teaching and research for the benefit of society.
