This essay treats, the representations, relations with the environment and organization of work between craft fishermen, which productive activities are given within a UC – the APA da Costa de Urumajó -, localized in the municipality of Augusto Corrêa, in the northeastern shore of the state of Pará – Brazil. The study is directed towards the reconstruction of the process of constitution of this EPA, in which the participation of the fishermen and their know-how was not effectively given. In this way, objectifying and revealing the instrumental practice of this labor, found in the activities of the fishermen, which since 1998, began to relate themselves with forthcoming restrictions of territorial reordenance, informed by the scientific knowledge, with environmental protection purposes. Verified, principally from Bourdieu‟s references (2005a, 2005b), through the notion of habitus which permits us to transit between being and becoming a fisher, the notion of environmental risk in Beck (2001) and „The Sociology of Absence‟ from Souza Santos (1995, 2004, 2006), puts in evidence the necessity of dialogue between scientific and local know-hows, with visits to the public environmental political institutions. One of the principal difficulties for the management plan of APA has not been elaborated, even though 09 years have passed, which is the sustainability of this institution, while politically socially-environmental. Standing out, in this way, the significance of the local knowledge and know-how, so that the scientific paradigm of conservation is effective. Our study sustains itself in direct observation, interviews, documented analyses and photographic registers. In this trajectory, “Are we partners?: Representations and social relations of fishing in conservation units – In focus the Environmental Protection Area (EPA) of Coast of Urumajó”, is a study of the attempt to, as Souza Santos (2006) affirms to reveal “wasted social experiences” or in part, unviable by modern scientific reason.
