The coast of Porto Seguro has undergone a process of irregular occupation with establishments known as beach huts being installed, which economically explore the coastal zone, occupy naval land without authorization from the Federal Properties Management Office, and suppress vegetation, as well as modify the landscape, causing environmental damage. In view of this, the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, which has protection of the environment among its institutional duties, has filed 75 Public Civil Actions between 2009 and 2016, seeking to stop this harmful conduct, repair the degraded area, and hold responsible the beach huts, their representatives, the Federal Government, and the Municipality of Porto Seguro for their failure to supervise improper exploitation. The decisions rendered in these lawsuits show that the proceedings take from 3 to 9 years at the lower court level. As of July 2019, 86.66% of these lawsuits received a sentence, with convictions for environmental damage exceeding a sum of 2.6 million reais, data that indicate that procedural legislation is being complied with, while pointing out the need for coastal management to avoid damage.
