SUMMARY:

Citizen science has been innovating scientific research by engaging people in projects and activities to incorporate new technologies. Considering the high cost of monitoring and the small number of researchers, citizen participation helps to collect information on biodiversity and disseminate it to local collaborators, validating the social legitimacy of technological tools. In order to meet the main objective of the work of evaluating the potential use of citizen science as a data generation tool to support the management and conservation of fishing resources in the Madeira Basin region (State of Rondônia, Brazil), the descriptive research method will be used and quantitative and qualitative, of an exploratory nature. The chosen sampling is of the intentional non-probabilistic type, composed of 60 users of fishing resources (fishermen and students) using the ICTIO technological tool to record their fisheries. In the work process, the social profile of the interviewees and aspects of the fishing activity, the retention and engagement of volunteers, the potential use of the data generated to answer questions from traditional scientific research and communities, and the motivation and perception of volunteers on the benefits of citizen science for the conservation of fisheries resources. Preliminary results showed that the participation of local actors in participatory monitoring activities and citizen science methodologies contribute with important information about the existing environments and the fish used in fishing practices, helping to improve the management and sustainable use of the fishery resources of the Madeira basin.
