SUMMARY:

Artisanal fishing is the main economic and cultural activity developed for subsistence on the Brazilian coast. This activity is capable of generating benefits that contribute to the well-being of local populations, such as food security, income generation, social learning, reduction of social vulnerability, among others. However, access to benefits depends on the local governance context and the availability of resources. In the case of marine protected areas, whose objectives include the conservation of biodiversity and support to local communities, it is expected that there will be a greater contribution of the activities developed in these areas to the human well-being of local populations, as is the case of artisanal fishing . This work aimed to survey the cultural, economic, governance, health and social contributions of artisanal fishing for the well-being of artisanal fishermen and fisherwomen; and how perceptions vary between marine protected areas and outside protected areas (UC). We carried out a total of 230 structured interviews with fishermen and artisanal fishers from seven fishing communities, located between the Costa dos Corais Environmental Protection Area, the Lagoa de Jequiá Marine Extractive Reserve and an area outside the UC, in Maceió, Alagoas (Brazil ). Overall, our results show a greater variation in the perception of fishermen and fisherwomen regarding the governance category, followed by the social and cultural category. We found significant differences in the perception of fishermen and fisherwomen about all categories of benefits considering the different locations. In contrast to other works that largely discuss only the economic benefits of fishing, our research encompasses other categories of benefits that build the universe of artisanal fishing. The theoretical contributions of this study have the potential to provide subsidies to think and discuss strategies and assist in political decisions that strengthen artisanal fishing and guarantee the generation of benefits for fishing communities and the conservation of fish resources.
