An ordinance of 4 July 2012 defined criteria for allowing visits for recreational, educational or scientific research purposes in the APA, and for educational or research purposes in the ESEC.

The ESEC is at sea level. It receives water from the Guapi-Macacu, Macacu/Caceribu and
Guaxindiba rivers. Temperatures range from 9 to 41 °C (48 to 106 °F) with an average of 24 °C (75 °F). The ESEC contains a flat tidal region of fluvial-marine sediments, rich in organic matter,

The
Guanabara Ecological Station was created by federal decree on 15 February 2006 with the objective of preserving remnants of mangroves in Guanabara Bay and the associated fauna and flora, and to support scientific research. It is administered by the
