The extraordinary aid for fishermen is an important support measure from the Federal Government. This is because it appears as a beacon of hope in times of adverse weather conditions, especially during prolonged droughts. Therefore, implemented through Provisional Measure 1,192, the emergency aid for fishermen represents significant support for those who have suffered from the devastating effects of the drought.
The government confirmed the value of the aid in R$$ 2,640, paid in a single installment, intended for artisanal fishermen from several municipalities in the North region. Thus, this financial support aims to mitigate the current difficulties, benefiting 102,899 artisanal fishermen with a total investment of R$$ 271,653,360.00 by the Federal Government.

The objective is to ensure that the support reaches those who need it most, regardless of their current social security situation.
