Abstract

The Brazilian Amazon region has many issues; one is the Blue Amazon, a little-known space. In this extensive maritime area, the Amazonian mangroves are predominant and appear in the estuaries, giving life to a complex socio-ecological system, where everything happens and the coastal and estuarine communities depend on the ecosystem services that offer these maretory, which extend beyond a physicist. The largest continuous fringe of mangroves on the planet and the most conserved is found in the states of Amapá, Pará and Maranhão, these mangroves safeguard scientific and traditional knowledge, in addition to complex and dynamic social relations. Socio-environmental aspects oriented towards the Objectives of Sustainable Development (ODS) in a contextualized way about the mangrove ecosystem through photography. This visual essay results from trips carried out in coastal estuarine communities in the last six years that generated a bank of photographs. In this essay, the characteristics of the Amazonian mangroves are presented through five ethnophotographic reports that range from the roots of the mangroves to the rural and urban spaces, which approach that intermediate zone where everything happens, where communities, ecological and social emerge, adapt, resist and exist.
