This dissertation is a history of Guanabara Bay, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and of the institutions that managed its environment between 1875 and 1975. It illustrates the birth of environmental agencies in Brazil, and how administrative, scientific and military institutions resisted or integrated environmental concepts into their activities. It explores the interplay of the urban environment and the natural environment in Guanabara Bay against a continuously shifting political and legal background. Regime change, international pressure, personal networks and demographic growth add to the complexity of this century-long investigation of one of the most celebrated landscapes of Latin America. The dissertation contributes to the development of environmental history in Latin America by combining an environmental approach with more traditional concepts of urban history and history of technology. By focusing on the practices that defined environmental management---transformation, monitoring, regulation and law enforcement---I identify four institutions closely connected to changes in Guanabara Bay: municipal administration, the Navy, the Hydrobiology Station belonging to Oswaldo Cruz Institute and the Institute of Sanitary Engineering. These institutions shared a preference for top-down intervention, taking little account of the preferences of a growing human population that was as much a part of Guanabara Bay as the shoreline and the waters. Nevertheless, in spite of these limitations, this knit together an evolving concept and practice of environmental management. Chronologically, the chapters overlap rather than succeed each other; diachronically, they delineate a network of individuals who interacted with each other, even when their institutions failed to do so.
