RESUMO

The present thesis reflects a trajectory: it starts with the analysis of the tenure of nature and the experience with fishing, analyses the territory as a management tool in fishing and ends with proposals from the fishermen s social movement. It aims at understanding the proposals arising from the category of small scale fishermen for the management of fishing activities and the role that the so-called artisanal fishing has as an agent of a new model for the fishing sector. Formatting this model should take into consideration three fundamental elements: the knowledge that fishermen have of nature, the territory as a management tool and the politicization of the fishermen’s social movement. This study comprises five moments. In the first moment there is a brief characterization of the research and the questions put forward by Geography, which will be carried out in the making of this research. In the second moment it analyses the fishing sector in its recent developments and the characterization of the crisis which permeates the fishing activity. In the third moment it analyses the formation of fishermen and their knowledge arising from their relation with natural elements, thus building a fundamental basis for a management model which bears in mind the specificity of the relation between society and nature in that sector In the fourth moment it analyses the issue of territory in fishing activities, which involves various steps and is based on some proposals for fishing management with territory control. In the fifth moment it portrays fishermen in their social movements – movement here understood in its wider sense, either formal or informal, either concrete or based on ideas - aiming at asserting their role as social and political subjects. As this trajectory is over, this research points at fishing management principles as possible ways for the continuity of the activities in the sector.
