- Abstract
Studies on traditional ecological knowledge are relevant from the point of view of valuing traditional populations and environmental preservation of ecosystems throughout the planet. We aim to analyze the environmental preservation practices transmitted from the traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) of traditional fishermen. In this narrative literature review, we rely on information available in articles available in the Web of Science database. We inductively analyzed the convergences and divergences of the articles. Studies on TEK are spread around the world, with an emphasis on Brazil. Studies on TEK by fishermen demonstrate the importance of recording the memory of actions in the effort of transmitting traditional ecological knowledge, helping in the process of management and conservation of natural resources in different environments.
