The Marcelo Martins project aims to dismantle and properly recycle abandoned ships in Guanabara Bay and the São Lourenço Canal in Niterói, seeking the sustainable reuse of all materials. After the naval crisis in the country, the naval market collapsed and businessmen went into debt, closed the shipyards, dismissed the employees and abandoned the boats in Guanabara Bay and the São Lourenço Channel. These vessels can cause environmental disaster, such as oil spills and other chemical components in the water spill contaminating the ecosystem. The recycling of vessels will benefit the fishing community, improve the health of the local population and also the shipbuilding industry.
