ResumoThe mangrove in the ethnoecological perception of artisanal fi shermen of the Santa Cruz Channel, Itapissuma, Pernambuco. Ethnoecology studies the way human populations interpret the connections arisingfrom interactions between society and nature. The present research was conducted with the aim of elucidating the relationship between the artisanal fi shermen of Itapissuma, Pernambuco, and the estuary-mangrove complex. Thus, a group of 54 fi shermen of the Santa Cruz Channel were interviewed. They demonstrated an accurate knowledge about the biodiversity of these ecosystems, the ecological relations operating there, and the importance of these natural resources for fi shing production. This knowledge refl ects a cultural background in which the art of fi shing is transmitted to descendants, through observations and practical learning in the traditional community in question: in such communities, the economic subsistence of families depends on those resources.
