rafts propelled by rows or singe triangular sails (Barletta and Costa 2009). In adjacent coastal waters, reefs and inner shelf fisheries requires more investment in boats
that include engine, gear and crew (Barletta and Costa 2009).
The fishing weir technique began in the north coast of Pernambuco in 1694
(Silva 2001) (Fig. 20.19c). In Goiana there were once 29 weirs distributed along its
estuarine beaches (Pitimbu, Acaú, Ponta de Pedra, Catuama and Barra de Catuama).
