The coastline of Assinie is the place of development for many activities in relation with the lagoon and the sea, particularly yatching, artisanal fishing, lagoon transport, agriculture, etc. But yatching, that has been imported there, has become essential in an environment already dedicated to the other activities mentioned above. The socio-economic development of Assinie faces the conquest of the lagoon space. Despite their different nature, these different activities coexist. The objective of this study is to analyze the types of relationship that exist between pleasure and related activities in Assinie. To provide an answer to this concern, interviews were conducted with pleasure clubs, the DGAMP and practitioners of side activities. Observations as well as a geo-referenced location of the zones were each activity occurs. Although there exist some conflictual relationships between yatching and side activities, both of them are complementary. Thus, the establishment of an organizational plan delimiting zones and periods for yatching and for fishing has been essential to regulate the situation.
