The geographic territory attached to social interactions constitutes multiple variables for understanding it, thus, understanding the territory is understanding the entire environment that surrounds it. The present study presents tourism as one of the variables that interact with space, thus comprising the territory, that is, presenting concepts and conceptions that tourism brings in spatial changes under a geographical perspective, focusing on the socioenvironmental environment, which is one of the points that suffers interference by the tourism sector entering a socio-spatial aspect that includes fishermen who practice artisanal fishing located in the Espigão Costeiro da Ponta d’Areia in São Luís in Maranhão. And for a more indepth analysis of these points, semi-structured interviews were used reporting the empirical visits for more concise studies of the fishermen’s activities to understand this socioenvironmental part that implies precisely this dynamic of fishermen in the common and current life of their fishing
