You might get in touch with Lise Sedrez, professor of environmental history at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. She wrote her dissertation on the history of Guanabara Bay and is very knowledgeable about Rio. She grew up in Rio, got her Ph.D. at Stanford, got tenure at Long Beach State, but decided to return to Rio permanently. She is editing a series at University of Arizona Press. She is a wonderful and generous person, a dear friend. I coordinated a six week seminar there in the Spring with her help. Her history of the Bay includes chapters on various forms of management that have prevailed for the Bay over the decades. She would have lots of ideas.
Her best email address is: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Good luck with your project.
