- Almadrava: a proposal for a touristic revivalPublication . Batista, Nuno; Marçal Gonçalves, Marta; Sérgio Lira; Rogério Amoêda; Cristina PinheiroIt was very common to see the establishment of the tuna’s fishermen in the Algarvian beaches, from April to June or August. The Arraiais (fishing yards) in the sand, strategically placed near the Almadravas (tuna nets) placed in the sea, had their own socioeconomic relations and their own temporary urban landscape. In this paper, it is elaborated a touristic proposal, based in the tuna fishing theme. There are almost no offers for touristic proposals, based in tuna fishing heritage, in Algarve. We believe that this may be an alternative to the high season, because of its meaning during the tuna fishing season and, due to Algarve geographical location, it is also related to the Mediterranean Diet. This proposal can enhance the awareness of the loss of this heritage, being a way of spreading and reviving something that has been lost and forgotten.
- Bullfight of the sea: fishing gears and artefacts in Algarve (Portugal) between the 30' and 60sPublication . Batista, Nuno; Marçal Gonçalves, Marta; Amoêda, Rogério; Lira, Sérgio; Pinheiro, Cristina; Zaragoza, J. M. S.; Serrano, J. C.This article describes the gears and artefacts used in tuna fishing, in the short term community settlet in Faro beach.
- Employers and employees: each one in home the tuna fishermen and the company s ownersPublication . Batista, Nuno; Marçal Gonçalves, MartaThis article describes, in a general way, the provisional housing in the Arraial of Faro’s beach, Algarve, Portugal, where fishermen lived during the tuna fishing season (50s and 60s) and which already disappeared, and the existing houses in the city of Faro, where the owners of the fishing company lived. The transition from thatched roof houses to the wooden pavilions on the beach, which housed fishermen and their families during the tuna fishing season, from March to June, and the houses owned by the employers, are described. Two of the main objectives to be achieved is to disseminate this heritage, part of which disappeared, and to rouse the population's awareness, especially the local population, about the danger of its total disappearance. This research was based on documentary, photographic and bibliographical analyses and also on interviews with people involved in this activity, and who are now about 90 years old, which constitutes, beyond the scarce information that exists, an important limitation to the development of this work. This is the reason why it is urgent to register and disclosure this heritage, given the advanced age of those who witnessed in the first person all this experience and art. Being a heritage that characterizes this region, it must be valued and transmitted to the generations to come. Otherwise, there will exist a great risk of its complete disappearance, both physically and from the collective memory of the community. The originality of this paper is the taken approach: based on the tuna fishery in Faro, it performs a characterization of the fishermen's dwellings, located on the beach, and those of the employers, located in the city.
- Ritual of blessing the tuna fishing nets in Algarve (Portugal), between the 30's and 60'sPublication . Batista, Nuno; Marçal Gonçalves, MartaThis paper describes the religious blessing procedure of tuna fishing nets before being launched into the sea, in Algarve, between the decades 30 and 60, when it abruptly ended. The authors describe how blessing of tuna fishing nets was made, based on interviews with peo-ple involved in this art, using photos provided by those, complemented by documentary analysis and bibliographic research. In the course of the work it was discovered that such religious prac-tice took place in Faro beach, in Algarve, for long decades, involving almost 200 families that lived there temporarily for 4 months per year, each year. The main results of this research are the awareness that this heritage, which is being lost, and the consequent urgency of an adequate registration and disclosure to the valuation of such sustainable asset, that is scarce.
- Short-term Tuna fishing community: the dwellings in the 30s and 60sPublication .

It is related how the change from the reed houses to the wooden sheds took place and how was the day-by-day of fishermen and their families during the tuna fishing season, from March to June. In the course of this research it was discovered that such fishing community took place in Faro beach for long decades, involved a large group of fishermen and their families that lived there, in a structured way. The main results we hope to achieve are the general awareness of this heritage and its dissemination. This research was based on documentary analysis, photographic and bibliographic research but, more importantly, interviews with people involved in this art, that still remains. During the development of this research, limitations were found due to the scarcity of available information and to the advanced age of the people involved, now with around 90 years old. That's why there's an urgency to make an adequate registration and disclosure of this heritage. This paper is original because there aren't many works about this theme under this point of view, taking Faro beach as object of study. As a vernacular heritage, it must be valued, so, publishing such work would influence the society in general, but primarily, the region's society, to alert them to a value that has been forgotten and, at the same time, clarify the future generations, helping to preserve the collective memory of a professional art that disappeared from the Algarve.
