Abstract(s)
O presente estudo surgiu devido à realização de uma visita de uma missão estrangeira efetuada à Praia Gamboa do distrito de Água Grande, em que se notou que a atividade de pesca nessa praia está bastante degradada em vários aspetos, por ser uma zona de dragagem frequente de areia, o que muito danifica o ecossistema marinho, e, também devido ao número de pescadores por embarcação e às artes de pesca, designadamente à utilização de redes de malha muito pequena. Como a pesca é uma fonte de renda para os pescadores é necessário recuperar e preservar o ecossistema para melhorar assim a qualidade de vida dos pescadores e de toda a população da Praia Gamboa.
A elevada exploração de recursos, a pesca de alevins e a pequena captura de espécies adultos, levou-nos à constatação da necessidade de conhecer as opiniões do chefe de praia, dos donos de embarcações e dos pescadores, face à sustentabilidade da pescas e também para ver a necessidade usarem técnicas sustentáveis no sentido de recuperar os recursos perdidos.
Para alcançarmos este objectivo realizámos um estudo de caso na comunidade piscatória da Praia Grande, com vista a melhor conhecer as opiniões destes atores sociais no que respeita à sustentabilidade da pesca. Neste sentido, entrevistamos o chefe da praia, donos de embarcações e administramos questionários a pescadores, no sentido de averiguar as suas opiniões, o seu conhecimento e sensibilidade face a estas questões.
The present study stemmed from conducting business in a foreign mission performed in the Praia Gamboa district of Água Grande, where it was noted that the fishing activity on this beach, in general, is severely degraded in many aspects, as it is a common sand dredging area, damaging therefor the marine ecosystem and because of the number of fishermen per boat and the fishing gear, where very small mesh nets are used in fishing. As fishing is a source of income for fishermen, it has become necessary to recover and preserve the ecosystem, therefor improving the quality of life of fishermen and the general population of Praia Gamboa. The high resource exploitation, the alevins fishing and the capture of juvenile fish species, lead us to the necessity of knowing the opinions of the "beach boss's", boat owners and fishermen in order to assess the attitude of fishermen concerning the sustainability of fisheries and to see the need to use sustainable techniques in order to recover the lost resources. To achieve this goal we performed a case study of the fishing community of Praia Grande, in order to better understand the views of those social actors regarding the sustainability of fisheries. In this sense, we interviewed the head of the beach, boat owners and conducted questionnaires to the fishermen in order to assess their opinions, their knowledge and sensitivity to these issues.
