Description
Summary:Abstract The purpose of this article is to evaluate trawling in the Amazon region, focusing on the Brazilian state of Amapá, and to analyze the role of the Supreme Court in promoting public policies related to industrial trawling in the case of Direct Action for Unconstitutionality (ADI) No. 861/AP. To this end, a qualitative approach was applied through a literature review, documentary analyses, and exploratory investigative methodology, based on the ADI No. 861/AP, and on bibliographic material on public policy formation. The objective is to check and correlate whether the final and unappealable decision in ADI No. 861/AP can be seen as a means of controlling public policy in alignment with SDG 14 and the UN Ocean Decade, and whether it is capable of upholding fundamental constitutional environmental rights.
