And, as such, create the conditions to absorb a significant portion of the workforce that can be released with the closure of the whaling activity; d) In order to safeguard the interests of the people of Lucena, if the suspension of whaling is made, the government should seek solutions from COPESBRA so that it can use its equipment in other activities as long as it ensures the maintenance of the workforce subject to dismissal with the expected closure of the current activities; e) Among others, we can suggest that specialized government agencies should verify that the municipality's land structure allows the implementation of an integrated rural development program, which opens up new employment opportunities for the population of the municipality; f) Finally, we suggest that the government authorities ensure that, if it is possible to ensure the capture and use of the whale in the Brazilian sea, understandings must be maintained with the Company's management so that it intensifies a campaign of clarification with the population , particularly that of the area, in order to consume more of the products generated from the whale, in principle those that are oriented to the foreign market, which, it was verified, the export currently reaches about 12% of the total produced.
