What happened
Petrobras committed funding to an environmental program in Sergipe. This initiative grew out of an environmental education program funded by Petrobras to fulfill an environmental licensing requirement. Local shellfish gatherers report that mollusk and crustacean populations are dwindling due to urban projects and real estate development in the area.
