The need to implement innovative sustainable production processes is a topic of important social relevance in this current century. Environmental tragedies on different continents have revealed that humanity needs understand how nature belongs system be balanced order maintain its existence. One the major sustainability challenges globally management solid wastes (SW). rapid urbanization coupled with increase world population has resulted consequential use various products and their associated generated wastes. Of such SW complicated manage are medical which deemed hazardous. Thus, industries including health industry must reverse logistic methodology disposal efficiently effectively Countries as Brazil, incorporated logistics into National Solid Waste Policy (NSWP) thereby ensuring adequate co-responsibility among generators In study, strategies adopted within scope Unified Health System (SUS, Portuguese) Brazil related medicines consumed were investigated. As methodology, qualitative research literature review documentary utilized obtain knowledge about information Brazil. findings discussions provided paper applied pharmaceutical still incipient. Although there consolidated subject national studies, lack evidence indicates effective models drug country, scenario growth 10% per year generation waste average country. It concluded an embryonic process, strengthened by construction regulations laws may encourage adopt good practices wastes, which, when implemented, can generate reduction around 12% volume year.

This study was the first attempt to characterize recreational harvesting of wedge clam (Donax trunculus). For this purpose, 403 face-to-face interviews were performed in summers 2018 and 2019 southern Portugal. The majority harvesters frequented selected beaches during holidays collected clams as a hobby for an appetizer. respondents reported inter-annual variation their catches with decreasing abundance followed by recovery 2019, but more collecting undersized individuals. Although most declared consume D. trunculus, only few bought being clams' size secondary factor valorization. did not know species' minimum conservation reference nor legally allowed maximum daily catch. It estimated that can collect 13 tonnes summer season along southeastern coast Algarve. Even though manual is efficient fishing technique, lack selectivity eventually compromise resilience trunculus populations. Despite affirmed get informed about marine biotoxins, surveys done periods interdiction shellfish harvesting. present results revealed population still unaware health risks consuming contaminated biotoxins.

Portugal has a historical tradition in fisheries, and its small-scale fishery (SSF) communities are the backbone of national industry. There have been increased concerns about state fisheries fish resources, particularly sustainable performance fishing sectors. In light this aspect, understanding economic, social, environmental, governmental aspects is key element assessing sustainability. Given relevance industry Portugal, it paramount to understand if Portuguese SSFs sustainable. This study aims develop contextualized indicator framework for SSFs’ sustainability with governance dimensions. Further, we developed systematic literature review evaluate using such framework. Of list suggested 31 indicators (8 economy, 9 12 8 governance), 1394 published references were recovered from SSFs. Results suggests that must improve socioeconomic environmental data strengthen support particular, fishers’ financial stability ecological knowledge promoting further studies on fisheries’ impact marine environment essential. Overall, qualitative provided represents an innovative unique evaluating different worldwide settings.

The cockle is available to numerous fishing villages in Europe, especially Portugal. In the Ria de Aveiro, there a lack of fisheries management program and need for new ecological studies on biology, ecology, conservation. We shared local knowledge (LEK) highlights about cockle-Cerastoderma edule (Linnaeus 1758) Aveiro favor adaptive this bioresource.Semi-structured interviews with sixty shellfishers coastal lagoon were carried out during April May 2021. LEK data biology ecology analyzed using an ethical-emic approach model integration different individual skills. These informal compared previously published species, Fish Base, GBIF databases.The average minimum size capture was 23.4 mm, per tide 137.12 kg. areas highest productivity most shellfish RIAV1 RIAV2. Cockles inhabit sand mud at depth 2.71 cm. Feeds are mainly small particles, plankton, mud, algae. main predators crabs, European plaice, bird species. spawn primarily late spring summer. As 2010, slight decrease stocks due overfishing, increased rainfall, changes sediment.

Biotic and abiotic factors can play an important role in the parasite community. The likelihood of successful transmission rises with host density. At same time, high density provide a dilution effect that lessens host's individual burden. In this study, effects cockle (Cerastoderma edule) environmental structure free-living parasitic communities two sites Ria de Aveiro (Portugal) were investigated, performing every other month sampling for one year. Thirty-five different taxa (2832 individuals) identified, including Polychaeta (40.71%), Bivalvia (25.48%), Gastropoda (22.7%), Arthropoda (8.3%) as most prevalent clades. Multivariate analysis based on macrofauna data showed benthic community composition abundance differed along year, depending site. Cockles' density, salinity, temperature, sediment descriptors (namely median grain size total organic matter content) best predictors differences found. Cockles infected by six trematode species represented 1432 individuals. Gymnophallus minutus (70.74%), Himasthla quissetensis (25.14%) spp. (3.63%). influencing size, dissolved oxygen, oxidation-reduction potential. It was demonstrated background (cockles' related physicochemical differences) promotes opposite ways diversity/abundance. findings although preliminary lacking validity areas, have implications decision making when stablishing catch limits resource protective measures.
