Resex marinhas na zona costeira do estado do Pará: acesso a direitos territoriais e ao desenvolvimento

Abstract

Conservation units for sustainable use have a diversity of types of socio- environmental conditions that distinguish spaces and populations. This article aims to refl ect on the extractive reserves in the Coastal Zone of the State of Pará, Brazilian Amazon, with regard to their socioenvironmental characteristics and, at the same time, the meanings they represent for collective existence and access to territorial rights and development, in their essential and fundamental aspects, for existing traditional populations. Emphasis is given to aspects inherent to the territory, biodiversity resources and their relationship to the national policy of sustainable development of traditional peoples and communities. It is a refl ective study based on studies and research carried out on the coast and in the context of participation in the management councils of marine extractive reserves on the Amazon coast.
