The study aims to deepen the conceptual and methodological basis of environmental management. It is an evaluation of different methodological approaches, showing a tendency to approach geosystems approach traditionally used by the Institute of Tropical Geography, which is the core of this implementation methodology, and articulates the use of established methods from the experiences gained in the Institute. The highest point is the concept of geo-ecological assessment, which integrates all the concepts and defines the spaces suitable for the development of tourism with its modalities feasible to implement, as one way of achieving operability between Land Territorial and Environmental geosystem, where is the unit of analysis and proposals. The working methods as stages of the investigation, given the ability to capture, analyze process and achieve concrete results for the proposed environmental management practice, which is discussed in subsequent work. The results of this work can be classed as an approach to a series of studies being carried out in accordance with the need to generalize the knowledge gained from the Environment Agency and other institutions in the Land Use and Management, both in coastal areas as watersheds.
