Nearly 400,000 artisanal fishermen will receive retroactive payments for the 2015-2016 fishing closure insurance. An agreement between the Attorney General's Office, INSS, and the National Confederation of Fishermen and Aquaculturists resolves a decade-long payment issue. The insurance, equivalent to a minimum wage, is for periods when fishing is prohibited. The payment process requires fishermen to adhere to the agreement online, with INSS validating applications. This initiative aims to settle numerous lawsuits stemming from the payment interruption.
