Abstract

The importance of knowing the meiobenthic composition of coastal ecosystems has been enhanced for the evaluation of trophic relationships, especially as indicators of stress and pollution on beaches. This research aimed to determine the abundance and diversity of the meiofauna in the intertidal zone of Venao Beach and evaluate the effect of trampling by users on these organisms. The individuals were collected by using 29.85 mm diameter PVC nucleators, buried 0.05 m under the sediment, during low tide periods, on days with the presence and absence of people, over two months. In addition, the granulometric characteristics were evaluated and the variations in the beach profile were measured. Differences in species composition were observed between these periods, in addition, between areas of beach use with the presence of users, however, there was no relationship between abundance and richness, with the environmental characteristics evaluated, so it follows that the Hydrodynamic characteristics exert an effect on the distribution of organisms.
