Marine litter is one of the greatest problems of the Anthropocene, directly impacting coastal communities. The present article examines the perception of artisanal fishers regarding the impact of marine litter on their activities. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with fishers from Bertioga, within the scope of the Nós da Ação project. Results showed that litter has direct impacts when it damages fishing equipment, and indirect impacts,since it reduces catch potential and increases the time spent fishing.
