THE THEME OF SUSTAINABILITY IN THE AREA OF FISHING RESOURCES AND TECHNICAL TRAINING IN FOOD
SustainablePractices; FisheryResources; Sustainabledevelopment.
The rationalityofmodernthought, with the currentpatternsofdevelopmentbasedon Western cultureandwith the economicglobalizationof the current times, hascaused the ruptureof the dualitybetweenmanandnature, leadingto the dehumanizationofnatureand the denaturalizationof man. It isimportanttoconsider the urgentneedof a paradigm shift withregardto the ecological, social andeconomicscope. Basedonthisvision, thereis a greaterawarenessof the subject'sresponsibilities for the environment. The presentresearchproposed in the firstchaptertomake a surveyof the sustainablepracticesappliedto the segmentsof the fishingactivity, as well as analyzed the existingalternativesthat favor the sustainabledevelopmentof the sector, presenting as suggestions for the problemsthataffect the activity, integratingecologicalbenefits , economicand social. The secondchapteraimedtodiscuss the training ofstudents in the IntegratedTechnicalCourse in Foodof the Federal InstituteofEducation, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN), Campus Pau dos Ferros and the curricular proposalsdirectedto the themeofsustainability, as well as its transversality in the practicalcontextof the courseformation; it alsosoughttoidentifystudents' interest in the themeofsustainability. It alsoaimedtoanalyzehowstudentsperceive the environmentanddiscuss the environmentalissuefrom the perspective of the studentsof the Course. The studyhad as methodology for the firstchapter a surveywithinvestigation in bibliographicdatabase, the investigativeanalysis, concerns the themeofsustainablepractices in the fishing sector. Tocarry out thisstudy, the followinginvestigativequestionwasasked: Whatstudies in the scientificliteraturepresentenvironmentalsustainabilitypractices in the areaof fisheriesresources? For the secondchapter, anexploratoryanddescriptiveresearchwascarried out throughfieldresearchwithstudentsfrom the IntegratedTechnicalCourseonFoodat the Federal Instituteof Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN), Campus Pau dos Ferros. The researchwascarried out with a quantitative-qualitative approach. As for the research data collectmethod, it wasdonethroughbibliographic, documentaryandquestionnaireresearch. For the firstchapter, freeaccessliteratureswereanalyzed, whichwereavailable in full, in the areasofenvironmentalsciencesandrelatedareas, in the three bases adopted: CAPES, SciELO, Redalyc. The searchtookplaceusing the terms "SustainablePractices + Fishing", "SustainablePractices + Aquaculture" and "SustainablePractices + FisheriesResources". Only the 12 mostrelevantliteratureswerechosen in the approach of the themeandwhichmet the inclusioncriteriaofthissurvey. Through the bibliographicsurvey, it waspossibletoidentifythreemaincategoriesofworkdeveloped in the periodsbetween 2008 and 2019, the firstbeing Environmental education, the second Management of natural resources, and the thirdandlastIndustryandsustainablepractices. It appearsthat the studiesonsustainabilitypracticesdirectedto the fishing sector are still verytimid, withverysmallproduction, whencomparedwith the sametheme for otherareas. The initiativesrelatedtoenvironmentalsustainabilityaddressed in the studiesanalyzed, are veryrelevant for the fishing sector, consideringthat the sector faces greatdifficulties in the environmentalarea. As for management measures, it isnecessary for fishing management tobebuiltbasedonscientificandtechnologicalknowledge, so it isnecessarytoencourageresearchon the area in orderto improve information, whichcansignificantlycontributetopoliticaldecision-makingwithregardtoguaranteeingfisheriesandenvironmentalsustainabilityand in protectingaquaticbiodiversityandwaterresources. As a resultof the secondchapter, it wasobservedthat some disciplines haddirectandindirect approaches on the themeofenvironmentalsustainability, especiallyonaspectsrelatedto the environmentalissue. Through the questionnaire it waspossibletosurvey the environmentalperceptionofstudentsof the technicalcourseintegrated in food. It wasalsoobservedthat the students' environmentalperceptionaboutenvironmentalproblemsis a perceptionof the environmentseen more as a resourcethan as natureor natural environment, butthatneedstobemanaged. However, although the environmentalperceptionisfocusedonthisvisionofsustainability in ordertoachievesustainabledevelopment, it isalsonecessarytounderstandthatthisvisioncannotbedissociatedfrom the conceptionof the environmentseenfrom the perspective of the collectivity, of the common good, where the Theenvironment must beseen as an integral partof the humancollectivity, of the social environmentwhichwe are uniqueindividualswithindividualisticactions, butwe are alsopartof the collective.
