| Resumo: | Geodiversity is a recent concept associated with the abiotic elements of nature, related
to the term biodiversity, which is more debated in the academic and social spheres. In
this work, geodiversity will be discussed through the apprehension of geomorphological
elements, forming geomorphodiversity, which, applied to the coastal environment,
stands out with the potential to identify singular forms, which are areas of
geoconservation actions. In this sense, the present work aims to outline the objective of
geoconservation through the inventory, quantification and mapping of geoforms on the
coast of Tibau, Grossos and Areia Branca / RN, also seeking to describe the evolution
of the natural history of the geoforms in the area. In the present study, possible
geomorphosites were identified, through the steps, evidence and quantification. In the
field inventory, a survey of general information of the sites was carried out, involving the
geomorphology, dissection features, among others, consolidating a database for the
studied area. In the quantification, an offer of areas of interest was valued using four
value criteria: Aesthetic (VEst), Scientific (VCi), Tourism (VTur) and Use and
management (VUG). In this study, it was identified as geomorphosite those that obtained
high scores in the Scientific Value (VCi) and/or Aesthetic Value (EST), namely: Apodi
Mossoró Estuary, São Cristóvão Beach and Ponta do Mel Beach. Those that obtained
high scores in Tourism Values, Use and Management and/or Average scores in
Aesthetic and Scientific values considered as geomorphodiversity sites, namely: Pedra
do Chapéu, Praia da Barra and Upanema Beach. Through the obtained results, it is
pertinent the inclusion of the aesthetic criterion, and not only the scientific one, for the
identification of geomorphosites. We found that there are areas with high aesthetic value,
but with reduced representation of scientific value, due to the lack of scientific research
in the field of geosciences covering them. Corroborating the view that the aesthetic
potential is representative for society and therefore must be included in geoconservation actions. |
