Abstract

Globalized world is marked by agility of connections related to goods and services’ circulation, composing a net in which ports are essential elements (CUNHA et al., 2007). Port activity directly impacts nearby environment (PORTO & TEIXEIRA, 2002). Once ports are installed in coastal areas, they also affect fishery activities in their influence area. The implementation of the Açu Port Complex will promote an expressive socioenvironmental change in its vicinity, mainly interfering with the life of regional artisanal fi shermen (DI BENEDITTO, 2001). Studies focusing identifi cation of potential socioenvironmental confl icts between marine fi shery and port activities are thus essential to propose appropriate measures for prevention and mitigation of impacts.
