Estudos socioambientais para criação de unidades de conservação de uso sustentável: o caso das resex marinhas no Estado do Pará.

Abstract

Social and environmental studies are foreseen in the SNUC for the creation of sustainable use conservation units. In the years 2012 and 2013, four studies were carried out to specifically create marine extractive reserves in the state of Pará. We worked in the municipalities of Magalhães Barata, Marapanim, São Caetano de Odivelas and Augusto Correa. Methodologies for these surveys were developed based on ethnosciences and participation as a theoretical basis. The methodologies were added in order to answer the questions, such as: if there is a occurrence of traditional populations, their ways of life and uses of existing natural resources. The results pointed to the existence of traditional populations, with mangroves being the main environment used. The future of the territory is discussed after the creation of the desired conservation units, which occurred in 2014.
