The objective of this research was to obtain the environmental perception of fishermen of Itaoca Island regarding the effects of urban/industrial expansion in Guanabara Bay on their fishing and housing spaces. Through exploratory qualitative research, it was possible to understand the interactions of these fishermen with the space in which they are inserted in Guanabara Bay and their perceptions on the externalities that reach their community. The results showed that the urban/industrial advance, resulting from the current cycle of regional development related to petroleum, has been a threat to the survival of fishing activity, both by the environmental impacts to the region’s ecosystems that significantly damage it, and by the pressure exerted on their living and fishing spaces.
