Resumo(s)
The Stalked barnacle, Pollicipes pollicipes (perceve) is a shellfish resource which has been
traditionally harvested by coastal communities of Portugal since ancient times. In the Parque
Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vincentina, (PNSACV), South-western coast of
Portugal, considerable harvesting of this resource occurs, but in recent years there have been
concerns about overharvesting. It has attracted increased harvesting pressure due to its high
market value. To address the overexploitation of this resource, legislation was formulated but
with limited consensus from all respective stakeholders. Sustainable resource use and
management must begin by assessing socio-economic and cultural issues surrounding its
harvest. This thesis aims to identify and to assess the perspectives of shelf fisher, community,
restaurant and freguesia president stakeholders through the use of questionnaire surveys and
interviews. The majority of stakeholders believed that the resource was overharvested and
that they should be included in legislation formulation. They were divided on the level of
enforcement, the licence distribution process and how restrictive the park management was.
Two desirable recommendations from the stakeholders themselves are the re-establishment of
Vila do Bispo ‘Perceve’ Market and that the Stalked barnacle should only be sold within the
PNSACV. Other recommendations include that the temporal closure period, September 15th -
December 15th should be reconsidered. Also the documentation of the Stalked barnacles’
fisheries landings, for monitoring of the resource for conservation purposes, should be
improved. In the future, defining stakeholder issues could make possible the use of KerDST
Deliberation Tool of the SPICOSA Framework to facilitate achieving stakeholder consensus.
