Diagnosis of the solid residues, liquid effluents and harmful synanthropic fauna within the Fortaleza harbor area, Ceará State

Abstract

This study was meant to deal with the survey, treatment and analysis of the data and information structure with  the aim of putting forward a diagnosis of the solid residues, liquid effluents and harmful synanthopic fauna within the  Fortaleza harbor area, in Ceará State. The methodology was established according to each category, namely: solid residues  – surveying of primary and secondary data (explanation of reasons, inventory and documentation); solid effluents –  demarcation of zones responsible for the effluence and their appraisal; synanthropic fauna – identification of points for  trap installation (mastofauna and enthomofauna) and observation of the bird-like fauna. The general conclusion is that  the Fortaleza harbor authorities and leaseholders must be called upon to impose rules on the generation of solid residues  and liquid effluents, and to control the bird fauna.
