Location

The Guará Area of Relevant Ecological Interest (ARIE) is divided between the municipalities of Iguape ( 44.89%) and Ilha Comprida (55.11%) in the state of São Paulo. It has an area of 455 hectares (1,120 acres).[2] It covers the northwestern tip of the island of Ilha Comprida.[3]

History

The Guará Area of Relevant Ecological Interest was created by decree 53527 of 8 October 2008, which also created the Litoral Sul Marine Environmental Protection Area. The two were to have the same management council, which was established on 19 December 2008.[4] The ARIE is administered by the São Paulo Forestry Foundation (Fundação para Conservação e a Produção Florestal do Estado de São Paulo).[5]

A company was hired in 2013 to prepare a management plan for São Paulo's three marine environmental protection areas (south, center and north) and the ARIE, but the work was not completed. In August 2016 a fresh start on a management plan was made by the Ekos Institute.[6]
