- Aug/2010 – Maragogi Coast – AL from near Barra Grande –AL at North until Japaratinga – AL at South (Click here)
- Aug/2010 – Expansion of the initial harmonization of Laje de Santos including the area of Calhaus and a damping zone (Click here)
- Oct/2010 – Archipelago of Fernando de Noronha (PE) comprising the area terrestrial inhabited and marine’s environment around the islands until 50 feet bellow of water surface and a seaward damping zone until 500 meters depth as limit. (Click here)
We have listed above only the harmonization carried out until October 2010 to serve as a reference and study site for those who wish to assess the benefits of energy harmonization on the spot.

Links to photos taken during the recognition and subsequent follow up are on the descriptive page of the harmonized regions.
In our facebook page we present the photo of the maps with the delimitation of all the places that have been harmonized energetically, until the present day, including regions created only as refuge for the survival of the corals:
- Jul/2012 – Approximately 45 km wide corridor, created in the high sea, from the region of Ilha Grande / Paraty, descending southwards, behind Ilhabela (SP) and involving the Alcatrazes Archipelago, Laje de Santos, Queimada Grande and in the sequence drifting to the coast and covering APA Litoral Sul, APA Ilha Comprida arriving until the channel of the Bay of Paranaguá (PR). The goal was to broaden the interregional connection to enhance the spawning process of spawning and the flow of coral recruits. [map]
- Aug/2012 – South / Central Coast of Santa Catarina covering a range of 35km to 25km offshore, from the Island of Canas (SC) passing through the Arvoredo APA, Florianópolis, APA Baleia Franca, following to Parcel de Torres (RS) . [map]
- Aug/2012 – North Coast of Brazil, ranging from Pontal do Trapiá (CE), Litoral do Maranhão, Parcel Manoel Luis (MA), Pará Coast and Amapá, to Cape Orange on the border with French Guiana. [map]
- Aug/Sep/2012 – Created an immense refuge to eventually meet the future recovery of coral and marine life in the Indian Ocean, covering the Lakshadweep and Maldives Islands and Atolls and a huge area around them. [map]
- Aug/Sep /2016 – Another immense refuge is created to eventually assist in the future recovery of coral and marine life in the adjacent Pacific Ocean regions. The regions involved were: North Coral Sea and Salomon Sea to the height of Vanuatu, bounded on the outside of the Great Barrier Reef and Papua New Guinea to the north. [map]
- Aug/2016 – Fiji Islands archipelago and a large buffer area surrounding the 330 Islands. The local population after the bleaching that occurred in the region, have acquired an enormous awareness on the conservation and maintenance of activities for the recovery of corals and marine life. [map]
Although some regions have less than 7 years of harmonization, promising news on coral resilience and resilience is already available.
Environmental harmonization aims to reward regions and populations that are effectively interested in preserving corals and marine life, and act accordingly.
