“…In contrast, other authors refer to the need to update MPD related laws in order to improve coastal zone management like in Lebanon, criticized for dating from 1925 (Meliadou et al 2012), or in Italy, when compelled to integrate developments of international law (Rochette 2009). It is also the object of criticism on how it is implemented given some existing abusive uses over margins and of calls for its redesign using better knowledge, GIS tools, and stronger management measures (Pinho 2007). Similar approaches can be seen in relation to the Cuban maritime terrestrial public domain by Monzón Bruguera and Herrera Monzón Bruguera and Herrera Machado (2019).…”

Coastal and estuarine margins are considered natural resources with various functions and are covered by different management and protection tools. In Portugal, the Maritime Public Domain (MPD) aims to regulate property in maritime and coastal areas, assuming that these are public resources of the nation. Little is known, however, about how the MPD considers estuarine margins, which are also valuable, and vulnerable, environmental areas. This article analyses how the concept of MPD applies to the estuarine margins in Portugal. Moreover, as this concept has been subsequently adopted by other countries with close roots such as Angola, Brazil, and Mozambique, this paper also explores if estuaries are further considered in their legislation. For this purpose, it undertakes an analysis of legal documents establishing the MPD, focusing on the definition, types of areas where it applies, the width of the margins, ownership, and use restriction. The findings show that estuaries are considered by the MPD in Portugal and in the similar instruments of the other three countries. Nevertheless, their approaches differ, especially on the width of margins and the flexibility of the ownership regime, suggesting that the potential to protect margins has not been globally reinforced by the countries adopting MPD after Portugal. This study offers new insights on the MPD and brings to the fore a gap in the literature that deserves to be further explored in other countries with different legal traditions and deepening the analysis on the added value for the protection of estuarine margins.

“…In a recent study, Pinho (2007) identified no less than 4000 dwellings (not accounting businesses, industries or infrastructure) located in high risk areas over a 50 km stretch of this beach. The state response to this threat of an iconic coast was the successive building of heavy coastal defence infrastructures.…”

“…Mas, hoje, ignorar os impactos sociais e econômicos da erosão costeira não é opção. Um estudo recente identificou 4000 construções em zonas de elevado risco num troço de 50 km entre as praias de Esmoriz e Vagueira, mais a norte (PINHO, 2007).…”

IntroduçãoAs alterações climáticas têm vindo a acentuar em Portugal o problema da erosão costeira, redefinindo e ampliando um dos mais importantes problemas sociais portugueses: a assimetria entre o litoral e o interior. Esta assimetria, embora materializada numa ocupação intensa da faixa litoral, terá importantes descontinuidades territoriais e sobretudo uma história complexa associada aos processos de modernização da sociedade portuguesa. As alterações climáticas e as suas exigências de mudança adaptativa sobrepõem-se assim a um contexto social que resulta de mudanças recentes e complexas.No litoral português e, em contexto de alterações climáticas, podemos identificar para efeitos analíticos três grandes fragilidades -física, social e administrativa -que lançam um desafio muito exigente quanto à sustentabilidade daqueles territórios. É a combinação destas três fragilidades que faz do litoral português um objeto de estudo tão estimulante para as ciências sociais (SCHMIDT e PRISTA, 2010).Quanto à fragilidade física, sublinhe-se que Portugal Continental, situado no flanco sudoeste da massa continental peninsular ibérica, ocupa uma estreita faixa de 250 km de largura, tendo uma zona costeira com cerca de 950 km de extensão.
