More than 4000 beaches distributed along the Brazilian coastline
are one of the country's main assets. They harbor endemic and
diverse biota and provide numerous goods and services essential to
human populations. However, they are under increasing pressure,
trapped between the impacts of climate change and human activities
in the terrestrial and marine environment, and the knowledge about
their environmental characteristics and biodiversity is still
insufficient to ensure their preservation. This book is the
first-ever comprehensive work about Brazil's sandy beaches
addressing their physical, ecological, and social aspects. It was
written by an interdisciplinary group of leading Brazilian
researchers from different regions of the country and also had the
contribution of a few international experts. The information
synthesized in this book is accessible to anyone who wants to know
more about Brazilian coastal biodiversity and represents a
significant step towards conserving Brazilian sandy beaches, their
biodiversity, and ecosystem services.
