6. Mocapajuba Marine Extractive Reserve

The Mocapajuba Marine Extractive Reserve is in the municipality of São Caetano de Odivelas, Pará. It has an area of 21,029 hectares (51,960 acres).[1] The reserve covers the mangroves in the São Caetano de Odivelas peninsula and islands of the coastal delta formed by the Barreto and Mocajuba rivers. It adjoins the São João da Ponta Extractive Reserve to the southeast and the Mãe Grande de Curuçá Extractive Reserve to the east.[2]

History

The Mocapajuba Marine Extractive Reserve was created by federal decree on 10 October 2014 with an area of about 21,029 hectares (51,960 acres).[3] The reserve is one of three created by president Dilma Rousseff thirteen days before the 2014 presidential elections. The other two are the Mestre Lucindo and Cuinarana marine extractive reserves, both also in Pará. The Araí-Peroba Marine Extractive Reserve was expanded by 50,500 hectares (125,000 acres).[4]

The reserve is administered by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio).[5] It is classed as IUCN protected area category VI (protected area with sustainable use of natural resources) The objectives are to conserve biodiversity of the ecosystems of mangroves, salt marshes, dunes, wetlands, floodplains, rivers, estuaries and islands and ensure sustainable use of natural resources while protecting the livelihoods and culture of the traditional extractive communities of the region.[6]

    gollark: Well, if you want to know just for serializing things, you can just `pcall` textutils.serialise.
    gollark: Changes I made:- check reactor methods in the loop- make the only thing in the `if` statement be setting `txt`, so that it runs the rest of the code for *both*- pass `print` multiple parameters, since it can use that happily- inline calls to stuff- `term` calls directly instead of `shell.run "clear"`, which is mildly more efficient- indentation
    gollark: Here is the fixed version.
    gollark: ```lualocal r = peripheral.wrap("back")while true do term.clear() term.setCursorPos(1, 1) local txt if r.getActive() then txt = "Aktiv" else txt = "Inaktiv" end print("Der Reaktor ist", txt) print(r.getEnergyStored(), "RF gespeichert") sleep(1)end```
