Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the impacts of the extreme hydrological drought of 2023 on artisanal fishing in the Lower Amazon Integration Region and its threats to the development of the Bioeconomy Plan for the state of Pará, and to understand how this production chain is vulnerable to the risks arising from climate variability and change. Theoretical Framework: In order to understand the vulnerability of artisanal fisheries to climate change, as well as to propose adaptive strategies, the Climate Lens tool was applied (OECD, 2009; Carvalho et al., 2021). Method: The methodology adopted included gathering climate data and information on artisanal fishing and the 2023 drought in reports from state and non-governmental agencies and technical opinions from municipal civil defense departments. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with directors of fishermen's colonies and officials from the municipal civil defense departments. Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed that, in vulnerable municipalities, without access to income, drinking water, food and facing social isolation, artisanal fishing has become impractical due to low water levels in rivers and lakes, resulting in an incalculable fish die-off. [synthesize the main results of the research]. In the discussion section, these results are contextualized in light of the theoretical framework, highlighting the implications and relationships identified. Possible discrepancies and limitations of the study are also considered in this section. Research Implications: Based on these results, adaptive measures are recommended that can be implemented in response to existing and/or potential climate impacts. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by highlighting solutions for the climate scenario experienced in the Lower Amazon Integration Region and for the implementation of the Bioeconomy Plan for the state of Pará.
