the pre-salt oil exploration program, which although happening in
Atlantic Slope at approximately 250 km distant from S~ao Sebasti~ao
may result in local impacts since there will be a increase in ship
navigation in the surrounding areas; and the expansion of the oil
terminal - TEBAR (to supply the Brazilian pre-salt program demand).
Unfortunately, although the many economic benefits that
can be provided by these proposed projects, they can also potentially
increase disturbances and conflicts over the Araça Bay.
