| Abstract | |
A diagnostic study on the viability and organizational aspects of oyster aquaculture in the region of Cananéia, São Paulo, led to the development of the project "Oysters from Cananéia". This projects main goals were to introduce oyster rearing, regulate the sanitary quality of the product by creating a depuration station, and, principally, organize the community through the creation of communitarian entity, COOPEROSTRA. Although the project had already shown results within the community it has reached, a socio-economic diagnosis had not been conducted nor a post-project analysis of the cooperative members. This dissertation intends to contribute with information on the transformation of reality and livelihood conditions of the target group, which is the major objective since the initial proposal for ordering. Consequently, interviews were conducted with the cooperative members and technical experts that assist the cooperative. Afterwards, the cooperative members were submitted to a closed questionnaire to help evaluate the impacts of new technology for oyster production and income generation. The cooperative members, did not seem comfortable whit the participate management activities of the cooperative, however, those who participated, were able to rise their income to keep it. Positive increases were observed in the cooperative members, notably with their self-esteem, dignity, world vision and recognition for their profession, however, it still is necessary to incorporate democratic principals to their association practices. The techniques for growing oysters in rearing beds are widely used and the practice of shelling oysters is no longer used. The State plays and important role in the creation and maintenance of this enterprise, until it attains autonomy. The methodology used to reach the proposed objectives proved to be efficient. COOPEROSTRA serves as an interesting model for other, similar community-based initiatives (AU) | |
