This paper is the formulation of a Proposed Zoning and Load Capacity Recreation to the Parque Estadual Marinho de Areia Vermelha that currently is very touristy. The amendment was based on the class Anthozoa diversity. To the recognition of the animals s diversity, the area was divided into 3 quadrants and 5 transects of 100 m, in each one were drawn. All individuals found in 50cm to the right and 50 cm to the left of the transect line were analyzed. This gave a basis for knowing the most diverse area of the park and served as a subsidy for the proposal of environmental zoning. To prepare the zoning map, the image was captured from Google Earth and used the modules SPRING, IMPIMA and SCARTA version 5.0.5. The captured images from Google Earth were saved in TIF format and were inserted in the module IMPIMA, which was used to save images in the native format SPRING. Some factors were taken into consideration as sites already used for tourism, biodiversity hotspots, areas of influence, diving sites, actions of waves,currents and fishing. Based on these features and taking into account some of the activities already undertaken in the park, the environmental zoning was created. From this zoning was proposed carrying capacity for recreational areas where tourism activities were allowed. For the load capacity was used the methodology of Cifuentes (1992) adapted to the conditions of the marine environment. For the two proposals, was also taken into account, the point of views of the professionals working with craft and environmental awareness of tourists visiting the area. As results we observed that the scleractinea corals present in the area were: Favia gravida, Porites astreoides and Siderastrea stellata and as Gorgoniacea coral species we had Muriceopsis sulphurea. Among zoanthids the species Palythoa caribaeorum, Protopalythoa variabilis and Zoanthus sociatus were found. The most rich in biodiversity was quadrant 2. The areas suggested in this proposed zoning were: Touristic Recreational Use Zone, Special Use Zone, Preservation of Marine Life Zone, Traditional Use Zone, Traditional and Recreational Use Zone and Cushioning Zone. The load capacity was designed for the use of the areas of Touristic Recreationl areas, which resulted in 400 visits per day, to the Special-Use area which can have 281 visits per day and the Traditional and Recreational Use Zone, with 544 visits per day, totalizing 1225 people daily around the park. With the questionnaires applied to tourists and professionals working on the boats, was detected that the application of environmental education is of paramount importance.
