- Abstract
- The Sustainable Development Reserve of Ponta do Tubarao in Brazil was created in 2003. It was created as an aim of protecting the environment from different attempts to develop the area into a tourist resort or simple shrimp hatcheries along the mangroves. The SDR-PT covers about 12,940 sq ft of the areas of the northern coast of Rio Grande do Norte in the Guamaré and Macau Municipalities. This area is considered a high-value biological region in brazil, with only little artisanal fishing and collecting shellfish, small scale agriculture, and animal farming. Since 2010 two wind turbine projects started operating in the area, known as Missaba II and Alegria II. The documentation of land operations has been in the works for more than a decade, and habitants of the area are claiming that the windmills have created water scarcity as the ponds are now dry. Other issues to the area include, the wall and line towers constructed disrupt the hydrological connection between rivers and the ocean which inherently affects the fisherman and alters water sands. Inhabitants in the area say that noise and vibrations from the wind turbines have affected animals and birds in the area that have migrated elsewhere. The council from the reserve says that part of the Missaba was built inside turtle nesting areas. Fishermen who live in the area were said to have received compensation for their interruptions, but according to sources they haven't. This project is an interesting situation as wind turbines are seen as good for the environment, yet they are destroying the area and making it inhabitable for most organisms in Ponta do Tubarao in Brazil.
