The National Action Plans (PANs) are a public policy in Brazil and serve to guide the research and management actions necessary to reverse the situation of endangered species. The proposed actions are the shared responsibility of public authorities and civil society, as protecting our biodiversity is everyone’s commitment. Members of Toninhas do Brasil participated in the elaboration process of the National Action Plan for the Conservation of the Franciscana (PAN Toninha), acting as articulators and collaborators in several actions, and participated in the Technical Support Group (Grupo de Apoio T\u00e9cnico – GAT) of this plan. Actions include research, monitoring, environmental education and management of ecosystems and fisheries, in addition to the implementation of new public policies.
Internationally, the project contributed to the construction of the Conservation and Management Plan of the International Whaling Commission, which seeks to guide the countries involved with respect to the actions necessary for the conservation of the species, in an integrated and collaborative manner.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The sustainability of fishing is everyone’s goal, because it is only through it that we will achieve a productive, diverse and balanced ocean. It is from this perspective that Toninhas do Brasil hopes to contribute, aiming at reducing bycatch of non-target species, more specifically small cetaceans such as the franciscana. To this end, the project has been making efforts to expand knowledge about artisanal fishing activities in different territories of S\u00e3o Paulo, Paran\u00e1 and Santa Catarina, either by monitoring fish landing, or through local ecological knowledge; and seeking strategies to reduce bycatch.
There are different approaches to bycatch reduction that are already being used in other countries. However, at this stage of the project, our focus is on the use of acoustic alarms, which have the potential to alert the franciscanas and prevent them from approaching the nets, without compromising fishing. Our pilot project, which is in progress, aims to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of alarms in a real fishing situation in Brazil, with the collaboration and experience of fishermen.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

NATURE TOURISM<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNature tourism aimed at observing wildlife can be an important ally in the conservation of species, as long as it is conducted responsibly. From this perspective, Toninhas do Brasil has been working on the development of protocols for observing franciscanas, initially focusing on Babitonga Bay, in an integrated manner with other tourist attractions in the region. It also conducts courses and training for nature observation tourism in the region, aiming to develop this activity in a sustainable way in the territory, contributing to the local communities. \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

COASTAL ECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENT<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe conservation of franciscanas depends, essentially, on the conservation of the coastal ecosystems where they live. The Toninhas do Brasil team participates in different discussion forums related to marine conservation. At a regional level, for example, we are part of the Pr\u00f3-Babitonga Group, a multisectoral collective that discusses issues related to the use of this territory. \nThe project also seeks to contribute to the deliberations of the Management Councils of Conservation Units existing in the territories where it operates. At this stage, we work in four Conservation Units: the North Coast Marine Environmental Protection Area and the South Coast Marine Environmental Protection Area, both in S\u00e3o Paulo; the National Marine Park of Currais, in Paran\u00e1; and the Right Whale Environmental Protection Area, in Santa Catarina.\nThe scientific publications produced by the project are forwarded, whenever necessary, to the government bodies involved in the management of these territories. The project also provides specific technical opinions. Generating technical subsidies for the elaboration of public policies aimed at the conservation of marine fauna is part of our mission. \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
