we
included praia do jequiá
in our work as a tribute to
what this beach once was - in
fact, praia do jequiá no longer exists, as it was unable to
withsatnd the tides and the pollution over time - leaving very little sand if any,
and low waters.
this praia was declared área de proteção ambiental e recuperação urbana (aparu) do
jequiá, and a number of provisions are aiming at
restoring its beauty.
while
this area may not hold much touristic interest, it is still
possible to enjoy beautiful city views behind
ilha
seca, and it can always serve as a reminder of the importance of
careful eco-planning.
