5.1. Management suggestions at different scales
When the official conservation map for Paraty was overlaid with the one that would be proposed if the understanding of its local fisheries and fishers’ main management suggestions were taken into account, relatively minor changes would be necessary (Table 3, Fig. 5). Only four islands from Tamoios Station are proposed to be excluded from this park and two others from its buffer zone, while it is proposed that three other islands should be managed under a differentiated regime, allowing fishers to anchor if necessary and to fish with hook and line. Allowing hook and line fishing would satisfy most of the fishers’ complaints, likely without considerably impacting the islands, as fishing conducted with this gear corresponded to less than 1% (approxi- mately 50 events) of the fish landings in Tarituba and P. Grande, which are the areas affected by Tamoios Station. On the south coast, where Trindade and other villages are situated, it is observed here, the great majority of fishers agreed with the need
to conserve areas and even for no-take sites to exist, as long as they are part of the decision-making process. Zoning, more than full closure, was an alternative suggested in all of the villages, which is in accordance with measures being adopted in other parts of Brazil and of the world. A better use of space could lead to fewer conflicts and more compliance and, consequently, to positive impacts on biodiversity in general. In Trindade, where fishers were able to work on a map, their suggestions were very specific in terms of zoning and could be enforced for at a low cost because they involve measures that they tend to follow on their own already. Having their management demands accepted could decrease governmental costs, as the fishers could help to enforce their own rules, as observed in Amazonian lakes.
