Public administration and brazilian coastal management: Reformism and late modernityThis article seeks to analyze the possible effects of these institutional movements on plans and structures aimed at Brazilian coastal
management, seen as an integral part of the public policies established for planning and
management in this field.
The methodological approach developed is descriptive and interpretive, with qualitative data that try to characterize the National Coastal Management Program (GERCO) from the stages of a public policy cycle, observing the presence (or absence) of elements of each model of administration in its development.Coastal managemen

Simple to be Useful: Ecosystem Base for Coastal ManagementThe present work proposes, presenting practical results, a methodological path of six stages: 1. Identifjcation of ecosystems as “Management Units”; 2. Mapping, modeling and simulating ecosystems and their connections; 3. Identifjcation and classifjcation of ecosystem services; 4. Defjnition of values and quality of services; 5. Identifjcation of related management procedures; and 6. Integration with policies and other management and legal toolsA methodological path of six stages: 1. Identifjcation of ecosystems as “Management Units”;
