    Artisanal fishery at the Corumbau Marine Extractive Reserve (Bahia, Brazil): subsidies for local sustainable management

    by Nádira Naiane Rocha Cerqueira, Frederico Monteiro Neves, Thaís Christina Torres de Oliveira, Paula Soares Pinheiro

    Extractive reserves (reservas extrativistas, RESEXs) are protected areas designed to preserve the livelihoods and culture of traditional populations, enabling sustainable use of resources. At the Corumbau RESEX, artisanal fisheries represent great potential for local socio-economic development. The current study aimed at characterizing the fishing activity at the Corumbau RESEX, using semi-structured interviews with 56 fishers and analyzing the data through descriptive statistics. The fishing frequency indicated by the fishers was one to three days a week. Speedboats are the primary transportation means involved in fishing, in which various fishing techniques are employed, with handline fishing as the most cited. The main targeted species in the fisheries were lane snapper (Lutjanus synagris), yellowtail snapper (Ocyurus chrysurus), and blue runner (Caranx crysos). Among the target species, there are the parrotfish species, which, despite being threatened, are allowed to be fished in the Corumbau RESEX due to the local management plan. Nearly 45% of those interviewed fish for parrotfish, with 60% living in the community of Cumuruxatiba, and 32% of the divers travel significant distances to reach the fishing spot, ranging from 5 to 18.5 nautical miles. The results presented in this paper can generate subsidies for the management of the RESEX and for future research.

    Fisheries governance in the socio-ecological system of the Corumbau Resex - Bahia, Brazil

    by Nádira Naiane Cerqueira Rocha, Frederico Monteiro Neves

    Extractive Reserves (RESEX) are socio-ecological systems (SES) that aim to protect the livelihoods of traditional populations and promote the sustainable use of common resources through co-management processes. This paper aims to characterize the SES of the Corumbau RESEX, highlighting the role of the actors involved in the co-management of natural resources. The research adopts the perspective of SES proposed by Elinor Ostrom, and data collection took place between December 2022 and July 2023, through interviews with actors who participate in the governance of the RESEX. The results show the complexity of this system, which involves multiple coastal ecosystems, stakeholders and socio-political boundaries. The conclusions point to the gaps in the governance model, especially in the face of the challenges of tourism and the low level of involvement of fishermen in decision-making.
