Rio Cardoso community fishing agreement: Public Policies and Existence Practices in Limoeiro do Ajuru, Pará

Abstract

This article seeks to investigate what led the community of Rio Cardoso in the municipality of Limoeiro of Ajuru, Pará, to create the Fisheries Agreement, with the specific objectives of analyzing the formation of the Fisheries Agreement, understanding how the creation of the agreement changed the relationships within and outside the community, and understanding how the community organizes the Fisheries Agreement, given that such policies are important for the riverine community, but are not always being active. Thus, we sought to investigate the configurations of this Fisheries Agreement between 2003 and 2008, analyzing its impacts and effects on the socioeconomic, cultural, and territorial defense of the riverine territory. For a better understanding of this work, we searched for bibliographies that could elucidate the proposed subject in an explanatory way. We used the Field Research as a methodology to gather information about the subject worked here, it was made from interviews with leaders of the agreement of the riverine community under study and people who are part of it, to then meet the goals proposed here. After analyzing the information, we found that the fishing agreement in the Rio Cardoso locality emerges as a form of R-existence of the riverside community in the face of major capitalist projects such as the Tucuruí Hydroelectric Power Station, and this is a demonstration of their identity, which tries to stand firm in the face of the difficulties that arise.
