Sources: 6. Developments: 2. Efforts to promote ocean conservation and marine sustainability in Brazil have centered on scientific workshops, public engagement, and regional management planning. In mid-September 2026, initiatives included a workshop at the University of São Paulo focused on bridging oceanography and naval engineering to address climate change and digital transitions. Simultaneously, Rio Ocean Week in Rio de Janeiro utilized art and science to discuss marine preservation and the challenges of waste management in coastal regions and remote waters. By late September, the Litoral Norte Coastal Management Sectoral Group approved 31 specific actions under its first Action and Management Plan. These measures aim to protect biodiversity, support fisheries, and improve water quality through an Integrated Maritime Protection, Inspection, and Monitoring System. Further discussions at Rio Ocean Week involved specialists and NGOs addressing the administration of coastal environments and the maintenance of Blue Flag certifications, which mandate strict standards for environmental management and water quality. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-22: Litoral Norte approves 31 actions for ocean and biodiversity protection Authorities in Brazil's Litoral Norte approved 31 actions for ocean protection and sustainable development, while Búzios representatives joined marine conservation debates at Rio Ocean Week. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/litoral-norte-approves-31-actions-for-ocean-and-biodiversity-protection ### 2026-09-18: Ocean conservation initiatives held in Brazil Brazilian initiatives, including USP workshops and Rio Ocean Week, are advancing ocean conservation through science, engineering, and public engagement to support the UN Decade of Ocean Science. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ocean-conservation-initiatives-held-in-brazil --- Cite as: Ocean conservation and management in Brazil.
