Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar os aspectos socioeconÃmicos de duas comunidades relacionadas a um empreendimento de carcinicultura, caracterizar amostras de Ãgua do estuÃrio do rio Mundaà e comparar os resultados dessa caracterizaÃÃo com a ResoluÃÃo 357/2005 do Conselho Nacional do Meio Ambiente (CONAMA) para Ãguas salinas. A pesquisa socioeconÃmica foi conduzida em duas comunidades chamadas CoÃcia e Palmeiras, ambas localizadas no distrito de MundaÃ, municÃpio de Trairi. A pesquisa iniciou-se com a abordagem e socializaÃÃo, seguida de entrevistas abertas e semi estruturadas com a populaÃÃo local para compreender sua realidade, obter informaÃÃes sobre os impactos socioeconÃmicos e a relaÃÃo entre o carcinicultor e as comunidades.
