Resumo: | The rapid growth in the number of divers at reef ecosystems in a poorly planned manner has caused serious environmental impacts. The present study analyzed the environmental perception of divers about reef ecosystems and their diving activities. We then aim to know/identify and preliminarily analyze the environmental perception of recreational divers regarding variables that can cause negative environmental impacts on reef ecosystems at the main diving points on the coast of Paraíba (Brazil). For the collection of data, specific questionnaires were applied involving objective and discursive questions passed on through different media destined to scuba divers from the region. In view of the results obtained, it was possible to know the profile of divers from the coast of Paraiba, observing what attracts them, their conceptions about the care for marine life, activities they perform during dives, how they arrive at the places, actions to minimize damage to the environment and ways to acquire information about proper care. Most respondents are aware of the care that should be taken in their activities, which appears to be related to the high levels of education observed. Despite the evidenced environmental perception, there are few educational and informative practices on caring of marine environments in the studied region. Although part of the divers is aware of the care that must be taken, it was possible to observe that these were mostly acquired on their own and this highlights the need for educational measures. Therefore, knowledge about environmental perception can be important for measures aimed at sustainable tourism and conservation of diverse ecosystems. |

O presente estudo analisou a percepção ambiental dos mergulhadores acerca dos ecossistemas recifais e suas atividades de mergulho. Objetivamos então conhecer/identificar e analisar preliminarmente a percepção ambiental de mergulhadores recreativos quanto a variáveis que podem causar impactos ambientais negativos em ecossistemas recifais nos principais pontos de mergulho no litoral paraibano. Para a coleta de dados foram aplicados questionários específicos envolvendo questões objetivas e discursivas repassadas em diferentes meios destinadas aos praticantes de mergulho na região. Diante dos resultados obtidos, foi possível conhecer o perfil dos mergulhadores do litoral paraibano, observando o que os atrai, suas concepções sobre os cuidados à vida marinha, atividades que realizam durante os mergulhos, como chegam aos locais, ações para minimizar os danos ao meio ambiente e formas de adquirir informações sobre os devidos cuidados. A maioria dos entrevistados está consciente quanto aos cuidados que devem ser adotados em suas atividades, o que aparenta ter relação com os altos níveis de escolaridade observados. Apesar da percepção ambiental evidenciada, existem poucas práticas educativas e informativas sobre os cuidados aos ambientes marinhos na região estudada. Apesar de parte dos mergulhadores ter consciência dos cuidados que devem ser tomados, foi possível observar que estes foram, em maioria, adquiridos por conta própria e isto ressalta a necessidade de medidas educativas. Para tanto, o conhecimento sobre percepção ambiental pode ser importante para realização de medidas visando um turismo sustentável e conservação de diversos ecossistemas.Universidade Federal de São Paulo2021-01-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/article/view/1076510.34024/rbecotur.2021.v14.10765Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo (RBEcotur); v. 14 n. 1 (2021): fevereiro-abril/2021Brazilian Journal of Ecotourism; Vol. 14 No. 1 (2021): fevereiro-abril/2021Revista Brasileña de Ecoturismo; Vol. 14 Núm. 1 (2021): fevereiro-abril/20211983-9391reponame:Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismoinstname:Sociedade Brasileira de Ecoturismo (SBECotur)instacron:SBECOTURporhttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/article/view/10765/8238Copyright (c) 2021 Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo (RBEcotur)info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFrança, Jéssica Maria Pereira de SouzaLima, Mônica da CostaMariano, Erich de Freitas2021-10-05T20:12:00Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/10765Revistahttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/indexPUBhttp://www.sbecotur.org.br/rbecotur/seer/index.php/ecoturismo/oai||zneiman@gmail.com1983-93911983-9391opendoar:2021-10-05T20:12Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo - Sociedade Brasileira de Ecoturismo (SBECotur)false |
