Resumo (PT): As zonas costeiras representam uma pequena parte da área e do volume dos oceanos. No entanto, a sua importância como interface entre a terra e o mar é enorme. Mais de 60% da população humana vive a menos de 60 km do mar e, além disso, as zonas costeiras garantem uma série de serviços essenciais à humanidade. Estes ecossistemas funcionam como um mecanismo de convergência de todas as acções levadas a cabo pelo Homem nas bacias hidrográficas adjacentes, sendo por isso necessário, no espírito da Directiva Quadro da Água - DQA- 2000/60/EC (UE, 2000), considerá-las na gestão desses sistemas. Apresenta-se, neste trabalho, um conjunto de ferramentas destinadas à gestão integrada de zonas costeiras, desenvolvidas no âmbito de um projecto europeu e utilizando como exemplo o Parque Natural da Ria Formosa (Sul de Portugal). Estas ferramentas incluem um modelo hidrológico das bacias hidrográficas e um modelo ecológico da zona costeira adjacente, um sistema de informação geográfica (SIG) e um sistema de apoio à decisão (SAD). O modelo das bacias permite prever os caudais afluentes à Ria Formosa e a qualidade da respectiva água, perante diversos cenários respeitantes à sua gestão, fornecendo assim condições de forçamento para um modelo ecológico desta laguna. O SAD encontra-se em desenvolvimento e destina-se a integrar informação ambiental e sócio-económica. O projecto é participado por técnicos do Parque Natural da Ria Formosa com responsabilidades na gestão deste sistema lagunar, de modo a permitir um entendimento eficaz entre investigadores e decisores.
Abstract (EN): Coastal zones represent a small part of the area and volume of the oceans. However, their importance as a land-sea interface is enormous. Over 60% of human population lives within 60 km of the sea, and coastal zones guarantee several essential services to humanity. These ecosystems work as a convergence mechanism of all human actions in adjacent watersheds, being necessary to be considered in their management, in accordance to the Water Framework Directive spirit. Several integrated coastal management tools are presented in this paper, developed for an European project using as an example Parque Natural da Ria Formosa (south of Portugal). These tools include an hydrological model, a coastal ecological model, a geographic information system, and a decision support system. The hydrological model predicts water flow and water quality to be input to the ecological model of the lagoon system. The decision support system is being developed to integrate the environmental and socialeconomic information. The end-users, with management responsibilities, allow an information interchange between researchers and decision makers.
