Resumo
The rising presence of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in the everyday life of the population of Espírito Santo, Brazil, has happened in different ways. The attention given to the species is mostly due to the media coverage, that report the increase in sightings of the species in the state, thus allowing the tourism activities (and not only them) to gain economic and social-cultural relevance. That context has allowed the whale to become the focus of different conservation efforts and triggered a series of researches, studies, initiatives and projects in favor of protecting the species and the production of useful knowledge, and appears to have built different engagements between the actors involved. The objective of this dissertation is to analyze the ways in which these different relationships occur between the human agents that work with the species and the species itself, and how whale watching tourism is being mobilized in Espírito Santo, Brazil. Based on a content analysis of the national and international techno scientific production on the subject, we did a research on the human agents involved with humpback whales in Espírito Santo and had some contacts with them through semistructured interviews and questionnaires about the subject.
