Abstract

In this article we seek to analyze the fishing activity of the Colony of Fishermen and Aquaculture Z-86, in the municipality of Gloria, Bahia. Currently with 246 associates, where randomly, 20 families with low educational level and mostly represented by women were interviewed. The study focuses on the analysis of fishing activity, and the management of its resources against large-scale production. The methodology used was bibliographic research, websites and books, as well as technical visits, where two types of semi-structured questionnaires were applied, one for the colony members, the other for the president. The questionnaires contained questions regarding social, technical and economic aspects. The results indicate that artisanal fishing is going through difficult times due to the changes that man, in general, make in the environment, causing environmental impacts and consequently affecting the community economy.
