 ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTED AREA
In October 1988 the Government of the State
of Pernambuco received the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha,
which was reintegrated to this State according to the new
Constitution. Considering the different occupations the
archipelago has had during the years it was under custody
of the Union, many interventions were made, not only on
the constructed patrimony, by disregarding the old constructions
and using prefabricated houses, but also by the introduction
of plants, animals and by the occupation of big areas for
residence purposes.
The fear that the area outside the National Marine Reserve,
which was established few days before the archipelago was
reintegrated to the State of Pernambuco, could be submitted
to bigger damages and the wish to develop studies aiming
the rational use of this area, led to the establishment
of the Environmental Protected Area - EPA by the State Decree
no. 13.555/89 in April 7, 1989. This decree stipulated that
the area should be used as a residential space, as a space
for multiple activities and as a special preservation zone.
