The Coastal Plain of Algodoal and Marudá Island is located on the Bragantina Platform, on the coast of "rias" in the NE of the State of Pará. This plain is limited by the Coastal Plateau, built on Tercio-Quaternary sediments of the Barreiras and Post-Barreiras Formation. Geomorphologically, the Coastal Plain of Ilha de Algodão and Marudá was compartmentalized into 7 morphogenetic units: estuarine channel, beach-dune cords, tidal flat, beach, dunes, salt marshes and "cheniers". This subdivision reveals the existence of a beach-dune string system concomitant with a tidal flat system. The stratigraphic studies allowed the identification of 9 morphostratigraphic units: beach-dune ridges, paleodunes, coastal dunes, beach, supratidal plain, intertidal plain, sandy tidal bar, tidal bar and saline marsh; which in part are related to the morphogenetic units of the plain. 10 stratigraphic facies were also defined: intertidal mud, sand from tidal excavation channels, sand and mud from bars, supratidal plain mud, sand and marine mud, estuarine mud, marine sand, bioturbated silty clay, undifferentiated sediments and sand. mottled. The integration of morphological and stratigraphic data allowed the identification of two stratigraphic sequences: transgressive sequence (S1) with estuarine and beach facing environments and ; regressive sequence (S2) characterized by a beach-dune string system, interdigitated with a tidal flat system. These sequences point to an evolution of this plain within a transgressive-regressive cycle that probably started at the end of the Late Pleistocene. The morphodynamic analysis indicates that the system has been constantly modified in the last 19 years. Waves and tides are the major erosional agents that act in restricted sectors of the coastal plain, while the biggest changes result from coastal accretion to the NE of Algodoal and Marudá Islands. The results of this work show the influence of hydro and aerodynamic parameters (tides, waves, currents, wind and weather), sea level variations and sediment input as preponderant factors in the evolution of the system.
