As estratégias de subsistência de migrantes bragantinos em Marudá

Abstract

The socio-economic transformations that have occurred in fishing areas, specifically in the Salgado zone, on the coast of Pará, such as the construction of highways, expansion of tourism, among other factors, have helped the fishermen to organize themselves in order to redefine their subsistence strategies, actions that aim at survival alternatives, either individually or in groups, for the sustenance of human life, one of them being migration, in the search for better economic, health, and education. The objective of this work is to describe the subsistence strategies made possible by migrant fishermen from Bragantin, who live in Marudá, and the insertion of their domestic group in the daily activities, related to fishing and tourism demand. The methodology used was direct observation, and the techniques were informal conversations (some recorded); application of forms and photographic record. For the village of Marudá, Marapanim/Pa, the displacement of fishing pains has been going on for years, according to some studies carried out in the area since the 1970s. The research area was the neighborhood of "Sossego" in Marudá, where most of the migrants live. Among the municipalities of Pará with the largest migratory contingent in the village is the population of Bragantina, in the northeast of Pará, where they redefine their subsistence strategies. In this context, the domestic group and the kinship relationship are fundamental for their reproduction and reorganization of the activities linked to fishing (corral, net), in the harvest in general (crab, samambi, mussel, crab and shrimp) and the activities arising from tourism (caretaker, carpenter, bricklayer, etc.).
