ABSTRACT: The fishing activity has
been known for centuries by man and is configured as an important source of
livelihood and income for many families of Brazilian fishermen. This article
tries to do a brief contextualization of fishing in Brazil, as well as discuss
the notion of territoriality of sector policies. The trend shown for the future
is the need for a planning/mapping of operation areas of productive agents in
the country, so that fish stocks can be managed more appropriately. One of the
proposals that comes with acceptance and is already being applied in some
municipalities is fishing agreements, using co-management mechanisms for
planning and use of fisheries resources.
