The present research’s main purpose is to present how elements of Territorial Governance
may contribute to minimizing the problems of personal, institutional, political and religious
nature identified during the process of implementation of the fishing agreements in the
Canaticu River, Curralinho municipality. To achieve that, the research has utilized a
participant-observation methodology, collecting claims that point to a possible scenery of
scarcity of fishing resources, as well as to the above-mentioned problems. A georeferencing
was also conducted in the Canaticu River region, using a Garmin GPS, which allowed for the
configuration of two maps using the Arc Giz 9.1 program and, finally, a literature review with
corresponding discussions. The collecting of data took place between October 2013 and
October 2014. The reports were obtained through informal conversations with three local
inhabitants, three local community leaders and four representatives of the local civil society
and public administration. The reports point to a possible scarcity of fish, as well as other
problems, which compromise the process of negotiating these agreements. In that sense, the
present research proposes some directives based on territorial governance in order to
strengthen the local development of the Canaticu River, as well as a management structure for
the agreements through governance workshops
