RESUMO

There is a consensus on the need for improvements in the current fisheries resources use and their sustainability, particularly in the developing countries. There is no consensus, however, on strategies and institutions necessary to achieve this goal. A new resource management philosophy calls for the participation of users in all steps of the process. It also points that the goals of resource sustainability include social, economic, political and cultural dimensions. The Program of Sustainable Development (PDSA) implemented by the government of the state of Amapa (elected in 1994 and re-elected in 1998) represents an opportunity to evaluate the viability of an alternative model of development to the Amazon region. This research analyzes the process of implementation of PDSA in the fishing sector. It focuses on the institutional changes brought by the program itself, the participation of agents and groups involved, and on the factors that interfere in the success of the program. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and participant observation with fishermen, community and union leaders, and government officials. Secondary data were used when available. The study shows that the PDSA increased the participation of fishermen and their organizations in the management of fishing resources. However, fishermen\ s lack of previous experience on participatory policy implementation limited the program\ s achievements. In addition to social organization, user groups attribute, political representation, domain and communication also affected the participatory program. Given the needs and demands of different user groups, there is no simple management solution. In addition to co-management, a participatory program needs to consider the available institutional arrangements in order to achieve its goals.
