This paper examines the traditional ecological knowledge of a community of fishermen that live in the APA Marimbus-Iraquara (Conservation Unit). The study aimed at collecting information regarding mainly local perception about the spatial and seasonal distribution of natural resources. Data were collected using open and semi-structured interviews, field observation and guided tours. Also, zoological and botanical materials were collected. The study results indicate the existence of a broad local ecological knowledge about species and ecosystems, particularly in relation to fish species.Published
