Biogeografia Costeira, Conhecimentos Tradicionais E Recursos Pesqueiros Na Reserva Extrativista Do Batoque - Ce

The Batoque Extractive Reserve, located in the municipality of Aquiraz–CE, constitutes a territory of significant socio-environmental importance, where traditional communities maintain sustainable use practices of natural resources, especially artisanal fishing. This study aims to understand the socio-environmental dynamics of the area, with an emphasis on the relationship between biogeography, traditional knowledge, and fishery resources. The research was based on a literature review, document analysis, and fieldwork carried out in the community. The results show that the biogeographical organization of coastal environments directly influences the availability of fishery resources and guides traditional management practices, although the territory faces socio-environmental pressures that challenge the conservation and sustainability of the RESEX.
