the major groups
of organisms collected are molluscs, crustaceans and fishes: “Here
we come to catch crab (Callinectes sp.), red crab (Mennipe nodifrons),
clams (Anomalocardia brasiliana and Tivela mactroides), and sometimes
to fish, because here there are a lot of fish too…” (M. A., 66).
Among the other uses and activities, it is worth mentioning the
organization of regattas (leisure) and the use of the Bay as shelter
for small boats: “Twice a year we held the regatta…” (N. N. B., 42);
“We promote canoe and kayak races (regatta)…And it is also a fishing
spot and a shelter for vessels when the sea is rough…” (R. R. F., 55).
