Conservation of the estuarine zone of the Goiana and Megaó rivers in northeastern Brazil: an analysis of the strategies adopted by fisherwomen communities
This study analyzed the strategies adopted by a community of fisherwomen to protect their territory in an estuarine zone, on the Brazilian northeastern coast. The survey found that the women directed their efforts towards a sustainable management of fisheries resources and an effective political action to obtain the creation of the Extractive Reserve Acaú-Goiana. The analysis showed that local communities, like these fisherwomen are fundamental to coastal conservation, given their knowledge about the environment and their participation in management processes.
