The extraordinary assistance for fishers is an important support measure from the Federal Government. This is because it emerges as a beacon of hope in times of climate adversity, especially during prolonged droughts. Therefore, implemented through Provisional Measure 1,192, the emergency assistance for fishers represents significant support for those who have suffered from the devastating effects of drought.
The government confirmed the assistance amount at R$ 2,640, paid in a single installment, intended for artisanal fishers from various municipalities in the Northern region. Thus, this financial support aims to mitigate current difficulties, benefiting 102,899 artisanal fishers with a total investment of R$ 271,653,360.00 from the Federal Government.

Payment criteria and schedule
To be eligible for assistance, fishermen must have received the closed-season insurance in the last cycle (September 2022) and in the current cycle, with the benefit being granted by November 1. Therefore, it is important to emphasize that the benefit is accessible even to those who already receive social assistance or social security benefits. The aim is to ensure that support reaches those who need it most, regardless of their current social security status.

With payments already underway, this financial support is expected to help mitigate the difficulties faced by artisanal fishers and their families, providing much-needed relief in challenging times.
