The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), established in 1992, is one of the most important international political instruments related to the environment, which set regulations and principles that must conduct the use and protection of the biodiversity of the signatory countries. In 2010, at the 10th Conference of Parties (COP-10), 20 targets were defined to be implemented until 2020 which sum up the guidelines and the needed actions for the biological diversity preservation and the sustainable development of the planet. Among them, and adapted to the national targets, is to reach the preservation of at least 17% of the terrestrial areas and 10% of the world's coastal and marine areas (Target 11). Since then Brazil has been deploying a series of public policies in national level so such ecosystems are representative preserved in Conservation Units (CUs). Among the most important environmental policies we can find: the National Program of the Biological Diversity, the National System of Conservation Units and the update of the document about Priority Areas for the Brazilian's Biodiversity Preservation. Aiming to analyze the respective policies as strategy to the coastal and marine ecosystems protection of the country and the compliance of the agreed target at CBD, this work elaborated an overview and, by the document Panorama of the Coastal and Marine Ecosystems Preservation in Brazil and the use of the National Registry of the Conservation Units, did an analysis of the Coastal and Marine CUs' representativeness of Brazil. Currently, the country is below the preservation target 11, which only 3,07% of the Coastal and Marine Areas protected, being the Environmental Protection Area (EPA) the prevailing category of CU present in this region. Of the protected areas, the coastal ecosystems still are much more represented than the marine environment. The data show that, despite the existence...
