Description
Sao José de Ribamar is a Brazilian municipality part of the São Luís Island together with São Luís, Raposa, and Paço do Lumiar.
The municipality is part of the 1,535,310 hectares (3,793,800 acres) Upaon-Açu/Miritiba/Alto Preguiças Environmental Protection Area, created in 1992.
The Protection Area was created with objectives that included controlling use and occupation of the land, exploitation of natural resources, hunting and fishing, protection of fauna and flora, and maintenance of water quality. A 2011 report noted that the APA was not the target of ongoing public policies to protect its ecosystems. The management plan was completed in October 2014, allowing the Secretary of State for Environment and Natural Resources to start conservation measures. At that time there was still no managing board.
