Abstract: | We evaluated the implementation of a fishing agreement, which was created by negotiation among all users of the resources
as a co-management strategy because its definition was a result of meetings between all users of the resources. The fishing
agreement was implemented in Unini River, a tributary of the right bank of Negro River. Our approach was based on the perception
of the people who live in that area, called ribeirinhos. The management strategy was based on spatial distribution of the
different types of fishing. We used two logistic regression models to identify the variables which are important to determine
the previous concordance and satisfaction with the agreement. First, we analyzed the initial effort to implement the agreement.
The variable that influenced the decision of support for the agreement and satisfaction with the results of agreement in both
models was the distance from the interviewee’s residence to the sport fishing area. The results showed that the perception
of improvement in well-being of the communities and structured social organization are crucial for the success of the co-management
strategy. |
