PROSPECTIVE RESEARCH FOR THE SOLUTION OF COASTAL EROSION IN BRAZIL

Resumo

The Coastal erosion is a fact that implies great economic and social risk in the country. The coastal region undergoing constant changes is influenced by natural causes, or by human actions that impact on the balance of nature. In recent times, much information about the advance of the sea in Brazil has been propagated, in some cases resulting in damages and disasters. In this way, preventive actions must be taken, since with the passage of time the advance of the sea can be aggravated. This work aims to carry out a prospective study in national and international databases with the purpose of identifying the regions of the world with the greatest number of patents to solve the problem, as well as to identify researchers and technology holders. It can be concluded that although there is a widespread issue, there are few national initiatives to promote this solution. Thus, through the result found, Brazil may seek partnerships for research or technology transfer for the solution of coastal erosion in the country.
