In the Rio Grande do Sui state, sea shrimp farming activity is in expansion ever since exotic shrimp Litopenaeus vanname! was introduced. Today, four farms are produc . e the state, and are installed in the municipal districts of Sao Jose do Norte and Rio Gra s another four farms already possess previous license for work. Along with the ac' . '5 potential productive growth comes an increase of environmental and socioeconomic im risks, which can directly affect sustainability of the activity. Several examples confirm, ;~~ statement, with similar problems reported for countries that saw the exponential grow their activity, but with consequent productive, legal and environmental problems. There'IOI1 a manner of proViding long-lasting development of the activity is through planning a decision management of enterprise development at coastal areas, by emplo' " Geographical Information Systems (SIG). The present study proposed the identificatio ~ characterization of areas destined to sea shrimp farming in RS, supported by 0 (ETM+/Landsat, Google Earth), airborne (35 mm/ADAR 1000 system), terrestrial (RIC 500SE) and field expedition remote sensing techniques and methods, integrating
