that the enterprise has received regarding technologies for containment of<br />
the contamination caused by industrial waste, it is possible that the biggest<br />
problem will be the increase in population in the vicinity of the petrochemical<br />
plant, since more than 100,000 new work posts will be created.<br />
It is most likely that infrastructure issues in relation to the increased<br />
population, such as sanitation systems, may be delayed or postponed,<br />
leading to an increase in the sewage dump in the neighboring Guanabara<br />
Bay. Furthermore, with the projected population increase, the likelihood<br />
of illegal occupation of the remaining fragments of mangrove will further<br />
reduce the area of this ecosystem. Thus, actions aimed at awareness and<br />
mitigation of tensors of degradation, coupled with actions in collaboration<br />
with city governments in the region, will help ensure that the conservation of<br />
coastal ecosystems moves alongside the economic development of the region.<br />
