This study aims to document the harvest of the uça or mangrove crab (Ucides cordatus) and identify actions of local fisherman that may contribute to the management and conservation of the species in the 3.203,24 ha São João da Ponta Marine Extractive Reserve in Pará state, Brazil. Research was carried out in the communities of Guarajuba, Deolândia, Porto Grande e São Francisco where the largest harvest activity in the reserve is concentrated. Semi-structured interviews and questionnaires were used to evaluate the socio-environmental and economic profile of the population, and to document the extractive activities and conservation status of crab stocks from the perspective of local people. Participatory mapping and participant observation were used to map the mangrove habitat, delineate routes and areas of current crab harvest and to identify local extractive strategies. Population interviewed ages (median 36.5; n=92) and men predominate in the crab harvest, and most are native to the region and have limited formal education. 64.1% of the overall population interviewed declared that they harvested uça crabs and yet most of these 33,7% said they did not understand the significance of the creation of the Extractive Reserve. And yet despite these limitations, research revealed detailed local knowledge about the mangrove habitat and the distribution and ecology of the crabs within it. Local knowledge needs to be leveraged to develop more effective management and conservation strategies for this sustainable development reserve. |
