The study aims to understand the social, environmental and economic changes that pressures the ecosystem and act directly on fishermen s life, work and health and also provides discussions about the possible end of craft activity in the Guanabara Bay in a context of vulnerability and environmental injustice. The activity of craft fishing developed over decades is threatened, mainly due to environmental degradation and the progressive reduction of fishing. This situation has profound social, economic and environmental impacts, as they are set up at different communities around the bay that still survive from fishing. The study is an exploratory and a descriptive quantitative and qualitative methodologies, using semi-structured interviews at different fishing communities of Guanabara Bay. We selected three cities (São Gonçalo, Itaboraí and Mage) and we interviewed 100 fishermen and crab collectors who answered questions about work, life and health. As a result, it was possible to identify social and environmental indicators that points to the extreme vulnerability of fishing communities in the region. We need to strength opportunities of discussion with the communities mobilization, to provide the ecosystem revitalization and a better quality of life.
