Lagoa dos Patos is one of the largest coastal lagoons in the world, having socio-environmental and socioeconomic relevance for Rio Grande do Sul. The territory is historically occupied by traditional artisanal fishing communities that (re)produce their ways of life socially, materially and symbolically. In December 2021, the State Department of Environment and Infrastructure published the project to grant the use of public assets for the installation of wind farms in the lagoon. This article seeks to debate this Project, expanding the discussion on its sustainability and investigating impacts on artisanal fisheries. As a methodology, we used the Discourse Analysis, through the Public Hearing, forums and other meetings with agents concerning artisanal fishing in the state. We noticed the lack of consultation and the instrumentalization of environmental issues to legitimize the process before civil society, making the communities involved vulnerable and excluded, in addition to impacting adjacent environmental protection areas.
