| Resumo: | In Brazil, the environmental licensing process has many stages, and it was designed as a tool toidentify the potential and to prevent environmental damages caused by enterprises. Although this procedureis required since the mid-1980s, it is still limited regarding the use of bioassessment and biomonitoring ofaquatic ecosystems. In this process, the agency responsible for the licensing (federal, state or local) is theresponsible for defining the parameters to be measured. Those parameters are required based on the typeand magnitude of the project, and the specific environment and location proposed for its installation. Werecommend that biological responses should be used to assess and monitor stressors on aquatic ecosystems.Macroinvertebrates have been used worldwide as bioindicators because they have some advantages overother biological groups for this purpose. In 2011, the ‘Intersectoral Working Group on Biomonitoring' wascreated to discuss the use of macroinvertebrates in biomonitoring programs. This paper presents proposalsand recommendations aiming to stimulate and provide guidance for the use of this group in the context ofthe environmental licensing process in Brazil. |
