THE IMPACT OF SOLID WASTE ON MANGROVES IN LUANDA - CASE STUDY IN THE BURACO COMMUNITY

Main Article Content
Abstract
One of the major problems observed with urban growth in coastal environments is the accumulation of waste, which contributes to the degradation of local fauna and flora. Luanda, currently the country's largest city (INE, 2016), produces approximately 6,500,000 tons of waste per day. Due to its topography, which facilitates runoff into the sea, most of the irregularly disposed waste ends up in the oceans, with the mangrove ecosystem serving as the first barrier. The presence of waste in mangroves negatively impacts the regenerative capacity of this ecosystem, in addition to compromising the production of goods and services, which directly affects the community and increases poverty rates.
