POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS E CONFLITOS SOCIOAMBIENTAIS: problematizando o Seguro-Defeso da pesca artesanal

Abstract

Considered the main policy intended to support the Brazilian artisanal fishing in recent decades, the Seguro-Defeso (SD) grants fishermen a minimum income during the Defeso season, when forced interruption of work occurs. This paper objective is to analyze the contradictions related to SD policy, analyzing its importance in relation to the socioeconomic characteristics of fishermen, while questioning the efficiency of the state action restricted to this benefit, understanding it as unable to strengthen fishing communities in the socio-environmental conflicts that they face. The methodology of this work involved literature review on the subject, the use of the SD payment data and the microdata of the National Continuous Household Sample Survey (PNADC) of the 2018 year. The results of this paper point to the importance of the benefit, but reiterate the neglect of the socio-political dimension.
