Autonomia para os(as) pescadores(as): Coleta de cotações de pescados como instrumento de apoio na comercialização da pesca artesanal

Abstract

Artisanal fishing is intended for family consumption and the local or national market. In Brazil and the world, artisanal fishing suffers from a general lack of information and a lack of public policies that help these communities. To contribute to the commercial stage and provide transparency and some degree of autonomy to fishermen(women), we collect the relevant data in order to provide a simple query tool for fish prices accessible from any digital device with a web browser. This article is the result of research by the Pescarte Environmental Education Project (PEA), an environmental mitigation measure required by federal environmental licensing conducted by IBAMA. It aims to present a web system to visualize information about fish prices from filters specified by users such as season, price range, fish and source of data. The application uses an automatic web data extraction tool to collect data from bulletins published by several sources, one of them, CEASA/Rio de Janeiro.
