The vulnerability of the coastline at the mouth of the Amazon River is a complex phenomenon influenced by both natural processes, such as erosion and accretion, and anthropogenic factors, including land-use changes and the lack of effective public policies. This study aims to understand how these dynamics affect the coastal communities in the region, with a particular focus on their impact on local economic activities, especially fishing and the collection of natural resources. To achieve this, the study will employ methodologies based on geotechnologies and the analysis of secondary data. The identification of the most vulnerable areas will be carried out using remote sensing techniques and computational modeling, utilizing CASSIE software and data from the SOAM Project – the Popular Marine Observatory (OMARA). The assessment of the impact of these processes on socioeconomic activities will involve analyzing secondary data from IBGE (via the SIDRA platform), the Integrated System for the Registration of Fishing Activities (SISRGP), and reports from the Association of Traditional Communities of Bailique (ACTB). The correlation of this information will be done through GIS modeling, identifying priority areas for mitigation and adaptation efforts. This study will contribute to the development of sustainable strategies aimed at strengthening the resilience of local communities and fostering the growth of the bioeconomy at the mouth of the Amazon River.
