The exploitation of natural resources is carried out according to the society's needs and the environmental conditions of the places. In this sense, the benefits provided by nature can be termed environmental services. However, even if society does not directly explore, but is benefited by some interaction, the service is also provided. Thus, the objective of this work is to identify the ecosystem and geosystemic services found in the geoenvironmental units of São Miguel do Gostoso, coastal municipality of Rio Grande do Norte. The methodology covers a literature review, field work and mapping. The results indicate that in the geoenvironmental units of São Miguel do Gostoso there are similar services performed by vegetation and soil and private services of local influence.
