An index to integrate stress due to anthropogenic pressures along the shoreline and case study of a tourist destination in Brazil

2018-03-15

Abstract excerpt

In order to compare stress on marine coastal ecosystems at different sites and over time we developed an Environmental Pressure Index (EPI). The index was composed of twenty-four parameters which could be observed and quantified at each site or from maps. The parameters metrics were taken in water, on shore or from the catchment and were grouped into eight ecosystem degrading stressors: Urban development, shorelin...
