RESUMO
Recifes artificiais e estruturas correlatas têm sido usadas ao redor do mundo como ferramentas de manejo para melhorar a pesca e turismo e mitigar áreas impactadas, além de outras funções. No entanto, projetos envolvendo recifes artificiais requerem uma série de estudos e um planejamento adequado para que sua implantação não cause danos ao meio ambiente, como alterações severas nas comunidades biológicas marinhas locais e adjacentes assim como nos padrões oceanográficos locais. Existe ainda, no caso de estruturas mal planejadas, o risco de perdas de partes desta estrutura devido às correntes, subsidência ou movimentos não desejados, danos a rotas de navegação e conflitos entre diferentes grupos de usuários. Assim, qualquer tentativa de implantar projetos usando recifes artificiais e estruturas correlatas devem ser seguidas de uma reflexão sobre sua relevância, planejamento e monitoramento eficiente e uma avaliação aprofundada quanto seu impacto em potencial.

Palavras-chave: gerenciamento costeiro; pesca; avaliação de impactos

ABSTRACT
Artificial reefs and correlated structures have been largely used all over the world as management tools to enhance fisheries and tourism and mitigate damaged areas, among others functions. Nevertheless, projects involving artificial reefs require a series of studies and an adequate planning so its implementation will not cause any damage to the environment, such as severe alterations on the local and surrounding marine biological communities as well as alterations on the local oceanographic patterns. There is, still, on not well planned ventures, the risk of lost of parts of the structures due to scouring, subsidence or undesirable movement, damage to navigation routes, and conflicts among different groups of users. Thus, any attempt to implement projects using artificial reefs and correlated structures must be followed by reflection about its relevance, efficient planning and monitoring and a deep evaluation of its potential impact.
