Resumo
Shellfish farming is understood as a fishing activity carried out by traditional communities with great importance in financial, food and cultural support. However, this generates negative impacts due to the accumulation of waste disposed in inappropriate locations after the mollusc processing process, which generates shells as the main waste. Associated with the importance of the activity, the need to mitigate these negative effects motivated several studies on the use of this waste and several authors verified the feasibility of using it in different areas of production. In the city of Vitória-ES, the sururu shellfishing activity is carried out on the rocky coastal shores inserted in the conservation units Environmental Protection Area (APA) Baía das Tartarugas and Estação Ecológica Municipal Ilha do Lameirão, in addition to the mangrove ecosystem, which covers 18 km2 of the municipality’s territorial space. As in other places where shellfishing takes place, the municipality also faces problems related to the inadequate disposal of waste resulting from this practice. This work's main objective is to study sururu seafood in environmental preservation areas in the city of Vitória, with the aim of offering subsidies for shared waste management through its use. To track and analyze the complex relationships that involve the inadequate disposal of waste arising from this activity, the research was based on Bruno Latour's Actor-Network Theory, identifying the actors involved and their connections. To this end, semi-structured interview techniques, trace mapping, bibliographic and documentary research, and data organization through cartography were adopted. The results allowed the updating of the shell waste deposition map in Vitória, and indicated that the lack of structures for processing and the absence of programs for the use of shells corroborate the development of the culture of throwing away, generating waste that is reflected in social and environmental impacts. Added to this issue is the fragility of relations between the municipal government and shellfish farmers, the disarticulation of shellfish farmers among themselves and the difficulty of dialogue with the local population, providing a negative picture that encompasses all those responsible for waste management. Regarding the mitigation of environmental impacts associated with the disposal of shellfish waste, strategic locations were identified for the installation of selective collectors and potential use of waste as soil fertilizer for the municipality of Vitória.
