The mariculture production of Florianópolis (Brazil, state of Santa Catarina) has been outstanding as it contributes economically with great part of the national production of mollusks, especially oysters and shellfishes. From this information raises the need to identify and analyze the environmental sustainability of a Cooperative located in the South of the Island of Santa Catarina which produces and distributes mollusks and constitutes the aim of this study.

In this way, the results revealed a Global Sustainability of over 70%, and the reuse of residues presented larger index among the analyzed sub-criteria. However the production process presented the lowest value, as it demonstrated a considerable amount of resources that are not reused, being necessary the application of alternative technologies that reduce the impacts produced.
