Sedap and Mamirauá Institute sign Cooperation Agreement to strengthen actions aimed at Resex
The agreement was published in this Wednesday's (27) edition of the State Official Gazette and aims to strengthen participatory management processes of natural resources for sustainable economic development
In order to support the execution of actions and public services related to scientific research, technological development, and participatory management of natural resources, the Mamirauá Sustainable Development Institute (IDSM) and the State Secretariat for Agricultural Development and Fisheries (Sedap) signed a Technical Cooperation Agreement, published this Wednesday (27) in the State Official Gazette.
The agreement establishes the improvement of projects such as strengthening participatory management processes of natural resources for sustainable economic development, biodiversity conservation, and maintaining carbon stocks in floodable areas of the Amazon, as well as a modern and sustainable participatory path for the future of Amazonian mangroves. The State has 16 municipalities distributed across 14 Extractive Reserves (Resex) along the Pará coast.
With the signing of the agreement, Sedap will enhance its actions with the support of Mamirauá, which will bring expertise to financial fundraising actions and new administrative tools, as noted by Sedap's Fisheries Coordinator, Salomão Guimarães. “The secretariat strengthens the necessary actions to produce more, following the sustainability bias,” he noted.
According to the publication, it will be up to Sedap, among other items, to collaborate with plant and animal defense programs together with Mamirauá, establishing specific action strategies for producers, with the aim of formally and officially requesting IDMS staff.
Mission - According to the Fisheries Coordinator, a mission with representatives from different countries is scheduled to arrive by October of this year, in a “pre-COP” program, with the participation of Sedap representatives. The purpose is to visit the municipality of Tefé, in Amazonas, where the institute's headquarters is located. “They have a very well-developed work in the sustainable management of pirarucu. Mamirauá will show the mission who their partners are; today, the institutionally registered and published partner is Sedap, which is strengthening sustainability work,” Guimarães detailed.
All actions developed within the secretariat, as emphasized by the coordinator, must follow a sustainable direction. “It is important to leverage the expertise that the institute has, with our practical knowledge; today, surely, with actions that meet the Pará Extractive Reserves, Sedap is very well supported in this regard because we have been developing this for over 10 years, through the fisheries coordination; thus, the State Government and the secretariat team, with the support of the Fisheries Directorate and our secretary Giovanni Queiroz, deserve congratulations for the encouragement to strengthen these actions,” the coordinator emphasized.
