SUMMARY
This police brief reviews participatory practices and their outcomes in the Brazilian coastal zone. Since the 1988 Brazilian National Constitution came into force, a number of instruments and policies were developed to foster social participation in coastal management. New actors, initiatives, practices and networks have opened up alternative pathways for social engagement. From the many examples of participatory processes in the last decades, we can learn about achievments and challenges. As the new millenium advances, a fragile institutional infrastructure hampers established participatory processes, and in particular the involvement of the poorest stakeholders, who ultimately bear the costs of most top-down coastal management decisions.
Here, we present the main findings of a collborative study of Brazilian and German partners thet reviews and analyses participatory practices and their outcomes in the Brazialian coastal zone. How has Brazilien coastal and ocean management evolved in terms of including vulnerable populations, in particular direct ecosystem users?
Based on the analysis of large sets of data raised in several projects and bringing together the extensive experience of our co-authors, we offer recommendations for decision-makers from local to national level in Brazil and for other national and international actors (UN Agencies, donors, social-environmental movements). Based on the Brazilian experience, out recommendations are also of relevance in other contexts of decentralising coastal ocean management.
