The objective of this study was to evaluate the water quality of four lagoons - Açu, Salgado, Grussaí, and Iquipari, and collect important information about these ecosystems before the implementation of the Logistics and Industrial Complex of the Port of Açu. Water samples were collected in the four lakes for physicochemical and microbiological analysis. Results were compared with CONAMA Resolution No. 357, addresses the classification of water bodies. Only the microbiological results for fecal coliform of the Iquipari lagoon were satisfactory.
