Tucum is formed by communities located on the coast of Ceará and is being built by many hands. Currently, it counts with the participation of ten coastal communities, amongst indigenous people, fishermen and women, rural settlers, two solidarity-based accommodation facilities in Fortaleza, besides three NGO’s that institutionally supports the Network: Terramar Institute (Brazil), Tremembé Association (Italy) and Friends of Prainha do Canto Verde Foundation (Switzerland).
