7.2 External Environment
Constituted by dynamism, the macroenvironment is the gathering of variables, such
as economic, social, technological, cultural, legal, ecological and political demographics. Their influence on a project and/or organization causes impacts without
any discrimination on different projects and/or organizations (Chiavenato 2012).
The macroenvironment is related to the external environments of the project and/or
organization, and in this sense they act as external forces that somehow influence
its functioning. It can also aggregate external actions related to sociological factors,
including the situation and demographic trends, work ethics and personal values,
cultural values; political factors; economic factors, including the economy, competitors and suppliers, customers; and technological factors, including the innovation
process, technology transfer process and cutting edge technology (Montana and
Charnov 2005).
In this sense, the variables of the external environment analyzed in the REBIMAR
Program, are listed below.
7.2.1 Opportunities
• Recovery of biodiversity and fish stocks of economic value;
• Development of economic alternatives;
• Institutional partnerships;
• National highlight in 2012 on the Globo Mar television program;
• In 2012 the program received the ODM Brasil Award;
• Macro indicators—38 thousand hectares protected from industrial trawling;
sighting of at least one threatened species (Mero—Epinephelus itajara);
• Structures that contribute to the conservation of the species already sighted Meros,
Ephinephelus itajara (species threatened with extinction);
• Contribution to national legislation for artificial reefs, being created from
REBIMAR’s license application;
• Effective participation of artisanal fishermen, community leaders and representatives of municipalities such as Paraná Environmental Institute (IAP) and
IBAMA;
• Adherence to the objectives of sustainable development.
7.2.2 Threats
• Interference with the monitoring program;
• Need for long-term monitoring for better comparative results;
• Constant improvement of the program, considering the need for new technologies;
• Dependence on investments.
