Itapemirim River Watershed (BRI) brings a great potential to the development of forestry undertakings due to its environmental, social and economics characteristics.This paper shows the delimitation of forestry sites at BRI accounting for climactic, soil and topographical data.A study of the Atlantic Forest fragments conditions at BRI was also done.Forestry sites were delimitated using SRTM elevation data, Thorntwaite & Matter water balance and soil classes maps.Atlantic Forest fragments were individualized by visual classification of CBERS-CCD satellite images.Results showed that the use of climatic, soil and topographical data are very helpful in forestry sites delimitation.
