Abstract

The general objective of this study is to continue the survey on the use of natural resources by the inhabitants of coastal areas of São Paulo Atlantic Forest, in particular by caiçara artisanal fishers. We intend to continue mapping de areas used for artisanal fishing, and the analyses of the vegetation and fish catch used, such as for consumption and medicine. We also intend to include ethnoecological studies, focusing on the local knowledge concerning fish habitat, feeding behavior and nomenclature. We choose three representative areas of the Sao Paulo coast, areas that are important regarding the management and conservation of the natural resources, as well as complementary areas in relation to previous research projects: the region close to Bertioga (south), Ilhabela (center), and Ubatuba (Picinguaba-Puruba-north). Therefore, these three patches or spots will be case studies looking for general patterns of interaction caiçaras-natural resources for the Sao Paulo coast. Expected results include, besides publications in scientific journals, two books: one about ethnoichthyology and the other about ethnobotany of Sao Paulo coast. (AU)
