Desafios de adequação à questão ambiental no Mercado do Peixe da cidade de São Luís - MA

Abstract

The aim of the study was to prepare a diagnosis of the challenges of adaptation to environmental issues in the Fish Market in St. Louis City, Maranhão. To identify the environmental impacts in the study site was used the methodology of Chek-List, based on the identification of impacts qualitatively classifying them as negative and positive. In addition there were two collections of liquid effluent samples for physico-chemical evaluation and its framework on environmental regulations. From the results, it can be seen that the main limitations of the fish market for environmental sustainability involve a number of issues, especially the issue of waste in disagreement, air pollution, visual pollution and lack of infrastructure -structure. Thus, it is concluded that the assessed market should have an adequate environmental management of their waste and implement sustainable production alternatives, adapting its activities to the conditions and environmental legislation.
