The Abrolhos Bank concentrates the largest marine biodiversity in Brazil and a series of actors that use the territory. Within this context, the objective of this research was to understand the historical, economic and environmental transformations that influence the territoriality of artisanal fishermen of Caravelas and Nova Viçosa in the last 60 years. For this, I used participant observation, semi-structured interviews, focus groups and participatory mapping. It was possible to categorize 4 time frames, the first was marked by whale fishing, the second by the influence of the Bahia Minas Railroad and the supply of vessels, the third by the structuring of fishing, with the arrival of ice and motorized vessels. Finally, the fourth is influenced by the arrival of the Conservation Units. It can be said that the territory has undergone numerous transformations and that reterritorialization was necessary for the maintenance of local artisanal fishing.
