The urbanization through which the coastal lowlfand areas of Fortaleza, especially in the “Praia do Futuro”, including the areas of environmental protection (beach, postbeach and dunes), has caused alterations in the dynamics of the geo-environmental elements which compound this unit. The unrestrained construction of houses, buildings and other real estate undertakings in dune areas is increasing in the “Praia do Futuro”, jeopardizing the amount and quality of water resources, as well as the physical and environmental landscape, and contributing to the environmental degradation of the coastline, since the action of any external factors in the dune formation could carry unbalancing consequences which are later compensated with difficulties. In view of the environmental degradation be in an advanced stage in these areas, our interest in studying the dunes in the coastal lowland areas of Fortaleza, including the area of the “Praia do Futuro”, was aroused in order to develop a research dissertation entitled ‘Analysis of the norms for the environmental protection of the dunes in the “Praia do Futuro”, Fortaleza-Brazil’. This investigation has as a general object of analyzing the environmental protection norms towards the ecosystem protection and conservation. Concerning specific objects, we aim at analyzing the types of occupation existing in the dunes in the “Praia do Futuro”, demonstrating the main environmental impacts on this ecosystem, and raising the norms for the environmental protection in the investigated area. The purpose of this research is providing information which may contribute with the formulation of new public policy for the coast of Fortaleza, seeking to transform the current reality, and to provide the society with knowledge about the current situation, as well as with recommendations, which may be used in the environmental conservation and a more rational and sustainable exploration of the natural resources.
