???? Rio de Janeiro | Boat Trip at the “Baia de Guanabara” “Guanabara bay” full trip| #15
Guanabara Bay is an oceanic bay located in Southeast Brazil in the state of Rio de Janeiro. On its western shore lies the city of Rio de Janeiro and Duque de Caxias, and on its eastern shore the cities of Niterói and São Gonçalo. Four other municipalities surround the bay's shores. Guanabara Bay is the second largest bay in area in Brazil (after the All Saints' Bay), at 412 square kilometers (159 sq mi), with a perimeter of 143 kilometres (89 mi).
Guanabara Bay is 31 kilometers (19 mi) long and 28 kilometers (17 mi) wide at its maximum. It's 1.5 kilometers (0.93 mi) wide mouth is flanked at the eastern tip by the Pico do Papagaio (Parrot's Peak) and the western tip by Pão de Açúcar (Sugar Loaf).
The name Guanabara comes from the Tupi language, goanã-pará, from gwa bay, plus nã similar to and ba'ra sea. Traditionally, it is also translated as the bosom of sea.

REALLY BEAUTIFUL VIEW
View from Above- Rio
Welcome to the View from Above! A series where we take you on a Journey to some of the most beautiful places on earth!
When it comes to cities with a visible pulse of energy, none quite match Rio de Janeiro’s intensity. Often called the Cidade Maravilhosa (Marvellous City) by the locals, Rio is a tropical metropolis infused with the vibe of the very jungle that surrounds it. Sipping caipirinhas at Copacabana by day, watching the futbol in the Maracana at night, or climbing Corcovado in the morning; Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro is a pure delight. Shot from above with state-of-the-art UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), View from Above captures Rio de Janeiro in ways that have never been seen before.
Rio was originally inhabited by the indigenous Tupi people before Portuguese colonialists landed on Guanabara Bay (the natural harbour that Rio de Janeiro surrounds). The bay was home to pirates, Portuguese royalty and African slaves as well as the Tupi locals before Portugal moved its capital to Rio following Napoleon’s romp in Europe. Rio then served as Brazil’s capital until 1960 when it was moved to Brasilia, and the city has since been the home to a few of the 2014 FIFA World Cup matches, and will host the 2016 Olympic Games:
Rio is probably best known for its urban beach culture. Everyone, rich and poor, young and old, take their anxieties to the beach, and leave their worries in the sand. The Atlantic facing beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema are some of the most famous beaches in the world, yearning for the wandering tourists to dig their toes into the sands and sip on caipirinhas. Those new to Rio mustn’t forget about the other praias (beaches) that are not as popular. Arpoador is a well-known local surf spot while Praia Vermelha is a lovely, quiet beach with a view of Sugarloaf Mountain.
Rio is a city of symbolism, and while the beaches may represent the canvas on which the locals or carioca lay down their troubles, the mountains surrounding the city are their protectors, imposing guardians that act as significant landmarks. Sugarloaf Mountain was historically considered the beacon to which new voyagers from faraway lands will be ushered into Guanabara, but the most iconic mountain is that of Corcovado, atop of which spans the outstretched arms of Christ the Redeemer. A mountain with a little less limelight, but almost as imposing as Sugarloaf and Corcovado, is that of Pedra Bonita from which the popular Rio hang-gliders take flight.
From the mountains above Rio one can look down onto the city and the surrounds. One of the most iconic sights is that of the Maracana. This ‘holy’ site is where many hundreds of thousands of Brazilians have made a pilgrimage to worship their favourite sport: futebol. The home stadium of the Fluminense football team is still considered one of the most classical football stadiums in the world and sits just to the North-West of downtown Rio, accessible to both the wealthier Rio residents and the poorer residents of the famous favelas.
Speaking of wealthy Rio residents, what better way of experiencing Rio de Janeiro than living it up in the shopping complexes and luxury hotels in neighbourhoods like Barra, Botafogo and Leblon. A walk in the snazzier locales will have you window-shopping for the latest fashions all within walking distance of the world’s best beaches. If that’s not your thing then how about a trip to the famous Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, a landlocked lagoon just behind Ipanema which can be traversed by paddle boat. One could also kick back and relax in the Flamengo Park after a hard day of walking the city centre.

One of the things included in the last analysis were the samples taken in points that are far away from the coast (seaside) or from the place where people enter the water and these points also show a big level of contamination. We expected that, because these agents we're looking for, especially viruses, are able to migrate in the currents. They can spread a lot. So we're finding them even when we go out much further into the water body. That's what we found in the last analysis.

Reports of water contamination in Guanabara Bay, site for events at 2016 Olympics
Brazilian environment authorities said on Thursday they were confident that water quality at the Olympic sailing competition venues in Rio de Janeiro's Guanabara Bay would not be a threat to the health of athletes competing in the Games in 2016.
I have data from January 2013 to the present, and based on these, I can say that all the analyses guarantee the water quality condition for the Olympics sailing competitions, said Rio de Janeiro state environment sub-secretary Carlos Portinho during a visit to the venues.
But Associated Press video footage from November 2013, and extensive data obtained by AP, showed severe pollution in the Bay, notorious for its foul smell and almost black colour, near the Olympic venues.
Rio authorities including Portinho have promised to treat 80 percent of the sewage going into the bay until the Games are held in July 2016.
Forty percent of that sewage is now treated, compared to 20 percent five years ago.
The Olympic committee has also pledged in writing that the pollution problems will be fixed, and many had hoped the Olympics would force authorities to tackle decades of neglect and poor planning that have blighted waterways.
Authorities say they are also investing in the construction of river treatment units to filter most of the rubbish and human waste before the waters pour into the bay but only one is currently functional.
Most recently, authorities have rented three mid-sized waste-collecting boats that have the capacity to hold 37 square feet (3.5 square meters) of rubbish, in an attempt to pick up larger floating debris that could get in the way of Olympic sailing boats during competitions.
While water quality varies depending on the exact location, the state's INEA environmental agency has classified nearly all the 13 bayside beaches it monitors as terrible for 12 years running due to high levels of fecal bacteria.
And with just over two years to go before the games, experts say cleanup efforts are moving at a snail's pace, and the six sewage treatment plants located around the bay lack the capacity to treat the waste produced by the city's six million residents.

13. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Dr. Anibal Melgarejo, Uruguayan Biologist, Director of Herpetology Research at Instituto Vital Brazil
(He talks while extracting venom from a Jararaca snake):
This is the most common snake and out of 28 neighborhoods in the city of Niteroi it can be found in 24 or 25 of them, which means it is present practically all over the city

16. SOUNDBITE: (Portuguese) Claudio Machado, Biologist:
The Jararaca is an animal that does not lay eggs. The female bears the offspring. Around 20 to 30 in each pregnancy and they spread around. The female does not build a nest, there is no motherly care. The offspring end up looking for refuge near people's houses.

This animal can reach a size of about 2 metres long and produces an amount of venom capable of killing 16 people, in its glands. This is what worries us, because the Jararacussu was a rare serpent 20 years ago, here in the city of Niteroi. We used to receive here at the Institute, one Jararacussu for every 50 Jararacas and now 20 years later this situation has increased in an alarming way. Nowadays we get one Jararacussu for every 5 Jararacas. In other words, while the Jararaca did not reduce its frequency, the Jararacussu increased its presence 10 fold in the city of Niteroi.

Rio waterways still filthy 1 year after Olympics
(5 Aug 2017) Environmental activists sailed across Rio de Janeiro's Guanabara Bay on Saturday to protest pollution in the city's waterways and broken promises to clean them up around the 2016 Olympics.
The silent flotilla coincided with the one-year anniversary of the start of the Rio Games.
The Brazilian city pledged in its Olympic bid to treat 80 percent of its water waste by the time the Games began, but failed to deliver on that promise.
Days ahead of the Games, a study commissioned by The Associated Press showed dangerously high levels of contamination.
Sergio Ricardo, founder of the collective Baia Viva, led about 50 activists and fishermen across Guanabara Bay.
Many boats displayed banners demanding improved sanitation.
The Bay is still alive, fishing is still alive and marine life resists despite the (inaction by) authorities. But society has to fight for its own environmental health, said Ricardo.
With the Olympics long over and the country in the midst of an economic crisis, expectations of any improvement are now low.
At various times this year, the beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon - the most popular with tourists - have been deemed too unclean for bathing by the State Environmental Institute.
The waters of Botafogo, Flamengo and nearly half of the Barra da Tijuca seashore have consistently been listed as unbatheable.
The lagoons have fared even worse. Much touted by the International Olympic Committee as among the legacy works for the Games, the recovery of the Tijuca, Camorim and Jacarepagua lagoons fell behind schedule and was later interrupted.
Mario Moscatelli, a biologist and longtime environmental advocate, thinks the cleanup was never a priority.

Fishing for trash in Rio's Guanabara Bay
Rio's Guanabara Bay is so dirty, that athletes already fear it is not ready to host Olympic sailing competitions in 2016.
Every day, 11 tons of trash reach the sea. With ten so called ecoboats, the state of Rio is now trying to clean the bay from plastic, wood, and other waste. Djalma Mathias dos Santos works on one of these boats.
________________________________________________________________
A Baía de Guanabara, no Rio de Janeiro, é tão suja que os atletas que irão participar das Olimpíadas de 2016 temem que ela não esteja pronta para as provas de vela. Todos os dias, 11 toneladas de lixo vão parar nessas águas, principalmente carregado pelos rios que deságuam nela. Com dez barcos, chamados Ecoboats, o estado do Rio está tentando limpar os plásticos, pedaços de madeira e outros resíduos que chegam lá. Djalma Mathias dos Santos trabalha em um deses barcos.
________________________________________________________________
Der Olympische Segelwettbewerb ist in Gefahr, fürchten die Athleten, weil die Bucht von Guanabara so verdreckt ist. Flüsse und Kanaele spülen dort taeglich elf Tonnen Muell ins Meer. Mit zehn kleinen Booten versucht der Staat Rio die Bucht von Plastik, Holz und anderem Abfall zu befreien.
