Summary
A preliminary analysis of conflicts between artisanal fishing and the Tamoios Ecological Station (ESEC Tamoios) in Ilha Grande Bay, Rio de Janeiro, reveals significant potential for sustainable co-management. The study highlights the G-PESCA-BIG project—a locally known 'Fishing Agreement'—as a promising initiative to address socioenvironmental conflicts, leveraging the high mobilization and organization of local fishermen. This research stands out due to its focus on a rare example of successful natural resource co-management in Brazil, particularly in fisheries, offering insights into resolving complex local challenges through participatory governance.
