SUMMARY:

The research investigates how the application of the principle of integration can enhance environmental protection in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), focusing on the marine conservation units of the São Pedro and São Paulo Archipelago and the Trindade and Martim Vaz Archipelago. The research problem consists in analyzing the normative effectiveness of MPAs located within EEZs, based on the dimensions of the integration principle (political, institutional, procedural, and geographical), identifying how the presence or absence of these elements impacts management quality and reveals legal gaps. The study contextualizes the Brazilian scenario, which currently protects 26.47% of its marine ecosystems through conservation units, exceeding the targets established by COP10 in 2010. It also examines the need to reconcile environmental protection with sustainable development, addressing challenges such as the legal and physical control of MPAs, regulatory gaps, and weaknesses in public governance. The analysis considers the role of institutions such as the Ministry of the Environment, IBAMA, the Chico Mendes Institute, and the Brazilian Navy. The methodology adopts the analysis of legal indicators based on integration criteria — representativeness, connectivity, social participation, and integrated approach — articulated with the political, institutional, procedural, and geographical dimensions of the principle of integration. The central hypothesis is that the application of the principle of integration, associated with legal indicators, Marine Spatial Planning (MSP), Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Areas (EBSAs), and the analysis of foreign examples of good governance, contributes to harmonizing environmental protection and the sustainable use of marine resources. The results confirm the initial hypothesis: integration is essential to strengthening the normative effectiveness of MPAs, providing a management model capable of balancing conservation and sustainable use. Therefore, the research proposes strategies to reinforce marine normative effectiveness based on the consolidation of the principle of integration as a structuring axis of Brazilian environmental policy.
