Abstract
⺠Conservation actions to lagoons is priority in the Brazilian environmental policies. ⺠Effects of artificial sandbar opening on biodiversity were analysed in a Ramsar site. ⺠Floodplains subjected to sandbar openings had lower macroinvertebrate richness. ⺠Artificial sandbar openings changed the macroinvertebrate composition. ⺠Artificial opening must be considered cautiously in Ramsar sites in southern Brazil.
