Dinâmica de uso da terra e alterações na linha de costa lagunar: estudo em uma Colônia de Pescadores de Pelotas, RS, Brasil

The formation of these lagoon bodies started in the Tertiary period, with the first cycles of sea advances and retreats resulting from glaciations, which rework on the sediments of the continental shelf leading to the formation of sandy barriers which iso- lated the flooded continental area, forming a new coastline with the predominance of fluvio-lacustrine morphodynamics. The lagoon coastal zones, as well as the sea ones, are submitted to an intense process of spatial occupation and the environmental
