1.  The further away from Tamoios Park, the higher the CPUE (based on samplings from Trindade, Praia Grande and Tarituba) 2.  The closer to Tamoios, the higher the fishers’ income. Intensive and profitable snook fishing? 3.  Fish biomass: higher inside southern Tamoios Park, but lower than the outside in the northern side of Tamoios (closer to Tarituba) 4.  Trade-­‐off between biodiversity conservaIon and tourism and fisheries (it does not have to be this way!) 5.  SynergisIc effect between fisheries and tourism: higher income and improved livelihoods for fishers who associated acIviIes.

MANAGEMENT SUGGESTIONS
1. Include local fishers in fisheries management decisions
in a comanagement system.
2. Rebuild populations of fish species sensitive to fishing pressure and that
have been possibly overfished, such as the dusky grouper (Epinephelus
marginatus): the population in Paraty bay consists mostly of small
individuals (juveniles).
3. Reconsider the design and restrictions of the MPA (ESEC Tamoios), which
had caused conflicts with fishers and seemed not to had increased abundance
of commercial reef fishes.
4. Alow some degree of fishing activity in currently closed islands of the
MPA, while also increasing protection of other islands not regularly used by
fishers
5. Negotiate the above management measures with local fishers, especially
regarding protected areas and increased compliance with minimun size
restrictions of some fishes, such as the dusky grouper.

•  Management actions may take into account the different livelihoods in a
regional scale (between regions and between communities) and in a
microscale (within communities)
•  small-scale fisheries cannot be seen in isolation from the diversity of
activities that make up the livelihoods of coastal communities
•  Consider neglected spaces such as homegardens as important places
related to food security
•  Stimulate food-generating activities to enhance food sovereignity

2.  Enhance awareness of the value of local agrobiodiversity and the
ecological services associated.

Main suggestions
•  Consider Paraty restaurants as part of the fishing chain;
•  Local fishermen should organize themselves to establish
direct forms of marketing with some of the restaurants in
town.
•  In this case, fishermen can could get better initial price of the
product (compared to currently paid for fish markets) and we
can expect a reduction in fishing effort, if local fishermen
prioritize the “premise” that the quality of the catch may be a
more important and profitable than the amount attribute,
especially in relation to local commercial species in
extinction risk .
•  At the context, restaurants may be used in the "banner" of
contributors to the socio-ecological resilience of the city of
Paraty.

•  Improve fishers’ access to capacity building courses related to touristic
activities, such as:
–  basic communication in English,
–  ecotourism and cultural tourism guides,
–  customers’ services at hotels and restaurants,
–  nautical activities (marine and fishing tours, beach transportation).
•  Stimulate community based tourism initiatives also started at Trindade
village and Araújo Island, involving familiar hostelling, forest trekkings,
visit to cultural sites.
•  Spread community based touristic practices in other communities studied
in this project.
