Mapeamento da produção científica sobre intrusão salina e cultivo de açaí: lacunas e evidências para o arquipélago do Bailique

Abstract

Climate change has intensified environmental phenomena in the Amazon, such as saltwater intrusion in estuarine and insular areas. This study presents an integrative review of the scientific literature on the effects of salinization on açaí (Euterpe oleracea) cultivation, with emphasis on the vulnerabilities observed in the Bailique Archipelago, Amapá State, Brazil. The research adopts a qualitative and bibliographic approach, analyzing publications that discuss the relationships between environment, culture, and sustainability. The findings show that saltwater intrusion undermines agricultural productivity, food security, and traditional ways of life, thus deepening socio-environmental inequalities. It was also found that traditional knowledge plays an essential role in understanding impacts and developing adaptation strategies, although the lack of public policies increases territorial vulnerability. It is concluded that saltwater intrusion represents both an environmental and social challenge, requiring the integration of science, local knowledge, and climate justice policies.
