# Fernando de Noronha (administratively part of PE) # Other Atlantic islands have no permanent settlement. # These include Trindade and Martin Vaz (administratively part of ES), # Atol das Rocas (RN), and Penedos de Sao Pedro e Sao Paulo (PE). ..........
http://www.flytime.com.br/horario.htm This tourism site says that FN did not observe summer time in 2000-2001, but the other oceanic islands did. ........... (It also gives UTC offsets for Trindade, Martin Vaz, Atol das Rocas, Penedos de Sao Paulo e Sao Pedro: UTC-2 in winter, UTC-1 in winter. This is the only such claim I've seen for these islands. However, I still haven't found evidence of permanent inhabitants for these islands.)
About the population of the Brazilian isles. The closest one can get to an "evidence" is probably through the "ISLAND DIRECTORY" of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) <http://islands.unep.ch/isldir.htm> The page with Brazilian isles: <http://islands.unep.ch/IXD.htm>
From this page I extracted:
Inhabited: Fernando de Noronha; population: 1266 (in 1980) Listed as inhabited, but population not stated: Biopeba Grande Itaparica Ilha de Maraca Ilha da Santa Barbara Ilha de Santa Catarina Ilha de Sao Luis Penedos de Sao Pedro e Sao Paulo Ilha de Sao Sebastiao Tinhare (Probably) not inhabited: Ilhas Martin Vas Atol das Rocas Isla da Trindade One can also check: <http://www.world-gazetteer.com> But not all isles are listed.
