Abstract:

In view of the public health emergency of international importance caused by COVID-19, artisanal fishing workers, in dialogue with Brazilian leaders and academics, created an Observatory on the impacts of this pandemic on fishing communities in March 2020. The purpose of this article is to analyze the experience of popular surveillance of the health of fishermen and fisherwomen through daily bulletins produced at the Observatory. It is a monitoring process that made it possible to broaden the recognition of the diversity of ways of life of vulnerable populations that intertwine health, environment and work. The study used a qualitative, horizontal and emancipatory methodology and sought approaches to the practice of the ecology of knowledge, with the results: shared construction of information and knowledge based on heterogeneous social experiences; practice of collective ombudsman with the appreciation of knowledge built in social struggles); joint assessment of public health inequities, territorial conflicts, and environmental, structural, and institutional racism; guidance of social leaders and fundraising through public notices. Thus, the dynamics and horizontality of learning based on solidarity and social emancipationinter-knowledge are revealed.
