They are sensitive environments and are subject to anthropic actions, of varied types and intensities, compromising the efficiency of the services provided. Monitoring these environments is an important tool to know its conditions at different time and space scales. In this study, abiotic parameters from two different databases, with different, butoverlapping, sample designs were used to make an overall analysis of thewater quality of a small estuary on the northeast coast of Brazil. The estuary of Goiana River was divided in four areas and studied along four years with two seasons each. It was observed that the water quality ofthe estuary presents conditions compatible with its intended main uses,but already shows signs of alert for uses as wildlife conservation. In this way, monitoring the quality of estuarine environments, besidesguaranteeing the maintenance of the provision of ecosystemic services, also aims at ensuring the success of environment conservation and its outcomes. %K Estuary %K monitoring %K abiotic parameters %K coastal management %K estuário %K monitoramento %K parâmetros abióticos %K gerenciamento costeiro %~ Universidad de Cádiz
