Conservation units play a fundamental role in the sustainable development of the coastal zone, however, knowledge about the mangrove management effectiveness is scarce. Thus, the objective of this study was to analyze the management effectiveness degree of a UC on the west coast of Ceará, the APA of the Curu river estuary. The methodology used questionnaires along with the manager, as well as field visits to evaluate 10 indicators of management effectiveness. The obtained result was moderately satisfactory, because even with the performance of the manager and the involvement of part of the community, there are points to be improved, mainly in the areas of legal and illegal uses, which received the worst results. The creation of a UC alone is not a guarantee of environmental protection, its effective management is as important as its creation, which is only possible, with integrated participatory management.
