As a tool to assist in environmental management, the zoning was carried out by the Brasil Cidadano Foundation, through the "Olho na Agua" Project, in conjunction with municipal support.
The environmental zoning has been divided into the following zones:
- Environmental preservation zone - ZPA
- Environmental conservation zone - ZCA
- Environmental Recovery Zone - ZRA
- Biodiversity Recruitment Zone - ZRB
- Village Expansion Control Zone - ZCEV
- Traditional use and fishing zone - ZUT
- Birds, Marine Boi fish and Macroalgae monitoring zone - ZMAP
- Seaweed cultivation zone - ZALGAS
This generated a correct attribution of uses and activities, allowing the realization of those activities proper to each zoning, restricting activities incompatible with each zoning category.
The effectiveness of the measures taken, due to the flagrant situation caused by the companies installed there, when no more licenses were given to them to continue operating, they had no choice but to adapt to the new situation and cease their activities.

- To be a generator of work through the "Women of Body and Seaweed" Foundation. to promote the role of women and gender equality in the workplace.
- To be a tool to raise awareness that the management and preservation of natural resources is not only an exclusive task of the Conservation Units, but that it is everyone's duty to watch over the process of management and care of these areas.
- That the zoning referred to algae is an attraction for fish, lobsters, shrimps and for the so precious boi-fish, thus achieving the strengthening of these species and enriching the biodiversity of the area.
