Abstract
The present study took place in traditional coastal communities located around and within the Marine
Extractive Reserves (RESEX-Mar) of Tracuateua and Araí-Peroba, Northeast of Pará, Brazilian Amazon, in
the period between 2019 and 2020, involving thirty families, whose self-sustaining activities depend on
family farming, artisanal fishing and crab fishing. The aimed objectives were to investigate the
generational knowledges and how descendants learn about them, considering the environmental
productive practices of such traditional communities, as well as to reflect on the ways the transmission
processes occur to the following generations. The employed method involved a qualitative approach, with
field observation and interview techniques. In data collection, the following instruments were used: a script

from the interviews with the support of graphics generated by the IRAMUTEQ Software. Subsequently,
