A reply to Santos and Brannstrom: Livelihood strategies in a marine extractive reserve: Implications for conservation interventions.

Santos & Brannstrom characterized fishers´ groups and discussed the inconsistency between the Cassurubá Extractive Reserve fishers’ livelihood and the fishery regulations, implemented through a fishery agreement in 2013. Here, we clarify topics where the authors have committed misinterpretations regarding: i) the number of participants in the development of the fishery agreement regulations, ii) losses arising from the need of exchanging drum nets; iii) loss of fishing area and other misconceptions related to the development and implementation of rules and its effects in the fisher's livelihood.
