Summary
Artisanal fishing in Cidade Velha, Cabo Verde, persists as the predominant livelihood activity despite the city's UNESCO World Heritage status. This study reveals that local fishermen employ simple yet effective strategies to navigate dual constraints—environmental regulations and heritage preservation—ensuring the continuity of their traditional practice. By analyzing the dynamic interplay between cultural heritage and sustainable resource use, researchers highlight how communities adapt to patrimonialization without compromising their economic foundation. The findings underscore the resilience of artisanal fishing as both a cultural pillar and an adaptive survival tactic in heritage-protected urban spaces.
