Resumo
The community of Barreiras is located in the municipality of Conceição da Barra, State of Espírito Santo, under the registration of Rural Zone of Controlled Use, for it is in a Conservation Area. Being a region drained by the river São Mateus and having extensive areas of mangroves, the artisanal fishing, including the picking of crabs, is their main economic activity. The crab pickers in this community are a group of workers who have a strong link with the mangrove ecosystem and its natural resources. This study aimed to know the daily life of those pickers, their values and their way of life, to understand how the processes occur to build their knowledge, identify the picking techniques used and their possible impacts on the environment, evaluating the socioeconomical aspect and the possibility of continued activity through the generations and to ascertain the degree of knowledge about the bioecology of the crab Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763). The information was obtained by direct contact with the community through observations, interviews and guided tours. The study revealed a high degree of community isolation and the extreme poverty which some families are subjected to. Furthermore, this work has shown the value that pickers attribute to the continuity of the activity throughout the generations and a variety of knowledge built by them empirically, which may contribute to the development of strategies for the use of resources in a conscious and sustainable manner.
