Adaptive Management Response of a Rural Fishery Community Due to Changes in the Hydrological Regime of a Tropical Coastal Lagoon

Journal of Human Ecology, 2009

The government modified these breaches with a floodgate, channels, and bridges, allowing tidal influx that has transformed the swamp ecosystem into a coastal lagoon. Our long-term research (1990-2006) has been based on participatory methods including identification of needs, introduction of technical changes, monitoring of modifications, and facilitating evaluations by local users. Researchers have documented their work with both women's and men's groups, as well as with community authorities and open assemblies of residents. Government agencies generally practice sectorial management, which focuses on a single sector or subject, even though it considers impacts and interdependencies with others (for example, fishing, road serviceability, protected areas, territorial zoning, and municipal strengthening). In contrast, this community (with its researchers/advisors) has struggled toward integrated coastal management, which focuses on guiding the necessary changes to maintain quality of life for human communities dependent on local ecosystem services, including those of coastal basins and extensive marine areas. Our findings question the accepted practice of designing conservation projects in centralized hierarchical structures that leave little space for local maneuvering and negotiation.

Este trabajo intenta aportar algunos elementos de discusión para la toma de decisiones en cuanto a los límites máximos permisibles de desarrollo a los que puede someterse una comunidad de manglar, a nivel del estado de Yucatán, considerando la heterogeneidad ambiental y los servicios ambientales que brindan a la sociedad. Palabras clave: zona costera, manglares, actividades económicas, Yucatán Summary: mangroves are zones that surfer great pressures due the growth of high intensity tourist activities and due the industrial aquaculture. This work present some elements of discussion for the decision making as far as the permissible maximum limits of development which a community of mangroves can be put under, at the level of the state of Yucatan, considering the environmental heterogeneity and the environmental services that offer the society.
