From a multiscale socioterritorial conflicts approach - encompassing dimensions from territory areas to individual bodies as scales - the aim is to address the intersection of economic interests, societal projects, environmental impacts, and social, ethnic, racial, and gender inequalities. Through this perspective, the current study will focus on the Amazonian reality, specifically examin…
This project seeks a collaboration between the Institute of Marine Sciences, Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP), and the Knowledge, Technology, and Innovation (KTI) group from Wageningen University. UNIFESP's expertise with traditional Brazilian fishing communities, through projects like Maretórios Amazônicos and PactoMar, aims to scale local knowledge to global dimensions using tr…
The objective of this project is to evaluate the threats generated by the development model implemented in the coastal zone of Pará in the sociobiodiversity of the maretorium of the traditional fishing community of Jubim, Salvaterra/Arquipélago do Marajó-PA. This assessment will be carried out through the production of transdisciplinary knowledge in dialogue with scientific knowledge, tra…
The Blue Amazon defines the region that includes the surface of the sea, waters overlying the seabed, and the marine soil and subsoil within the Atlantic extension that projects from the coast to the outer limit of the Brazilian Continental Shelf. Along with its tropical and subtropical characteristics, oceanographic and climatological conditions confer specific traits that ensure high bi…

The Marajó archipelago has one of the highest rates of biological and cultural diversity on the planet. It is home to more than 500,000 inhabitants, comprising different ethnicities and cultures, such as indigenous peoples, quilombolas, riverside dwellers, artisanal fishermen and shellfish gatherers, among other traditional communities and forest peoples (Marin et al. 2015). In addition, …
Marine litter is a highly visible problem nowadays. The gravity of this reality and the intensity of its impact on the marine environment has stimulated actions and discussions in various institutions and regional, national and international forums. Recently, the United Nations (UN) included strategies to address pollution at sea in the 2030 Agenda. In addition to the debate on the impact…
Considering current pressures and threats, the complexity added by climate change and especially the prospect of increasing industrialization and human occupation for the São Paulo coast in the coming years, the present project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the institutional arrangements for management and territorial planning of the coastal and marine zone and to identify opportu…
The coastal management model that has been implemented in Brazil dates back to the 1980s. It has neocolonial and paternalistic characteristics and is centralized in the role of the State, perpetuating inequality and marginalization of artisanal fishers, traditional coastal communities and their local knowledge. We argue that we need to change this coastal management model, promoting an al…
Marine litter is an actual and highly visible environmental problem nowadays. The increase of marine litter is a result of the transformations experienced by humanity. The increase in marine litter is the result of changes experienced by humanity, whether or not economic, political, cultural or institutional. It is a global scale problem, and although each country has its peculiarity and …
The main objective of this project is to evaluate key challenges towards the promotion of the integrated coastal management, taking into consideration the regional complex dynamics, and to identify opportunities for an integrated territory within an urban context. Thus, the conditions of the São Paulo coast, comprising only the northern coast and the Baixada Santista, will be used as a ca…
