“…Gutiérrez et al [9] also agree with the importance of a leader possessing entrepreneurial and managerial skills, who is highly motivated and with legitimacy in their community, in the enforcement of rules. Yet, in the analysis of McCay et al [10], it was found that some cooperatives in the Mexican Pacific are more likely to rotate positions and generate counterweights to the president and disperse leadership widely within the group. This opens a debate about different types of internal structures and the conditions in which they emerged.…”

Abstract:The purpose of this article was to analyse how fisheries governance can be improved when there is low enforcement capacity by state's institutions. Based on the theoretical arguments from the neo-institutionalism and the social capital approaches, the findings of this research point to the role of fishing cooperatives' structural organization on the attitude of individuals to comply with regulations. Using a most similar comparative method, it was found that fishers with higher scores of compliance belong to cooperatives that have an outstanding leader, control mechanisms, as well as multi-actor external networks which connect the organization with other networks and thus facilitate the access to knowledge, technology and activities related to conservation and sustainable fishing. The findings of the research coincide with other studies about the importance of leadership that enable good fishing management. This may help in the design of different strategies to address situations with low state capacity to ensure compliance and contribute to solve problems of commons, such as the one in marine fisheries.

“…Stewardship actions can also be executed collectively by groups or communities to manage common-pool resources or common areas (e.g., urban community gardens) (Ostrom 1990(Ostrom , 1999Cox et al 2010;Krasny and Tidball 2012). This might even include collective decisions within cooperatives or communities to enforce more stringent conservation measures than mandated by the government (McCay et al 2014). Which actors are involved in different stewardship actions largely depends on the scale and complexity of the issue as discussed below.…”

“…Stewardship actions can be targeted for individual species, multiple species, individual habitats, entire ecosystems, or even integrated human-environment systems at scales ranging from neighborhoods to landscapes. For example, these actions might include limiting the harvest of a single recreationally, commercially, and culturally important species (Groesbeck et al 2014), the establishment of no take terrestrial parks or marine protected areas to protect a species or habitat (Micheli et al 2012), the active restoration of degraded habitats through replanting stream buffers (Sheppard et al 2017), the practice of traditional comprehensive watershed management from mountaintops to the near-shore marine environment to protect ecosystems (Kaneshiro et al 2005), the creation and management of urban green spaces or community gardens (Krasny and Tidball 2012), or the strategic reduction of dependence on resource-based livelihoods to decrease harvests (McCay et al 2014). Stewardship can also take the form of passive management-leaving an area to regenerate-or simply choosing to not harvest from an area.…”

There has been increasing attention to and investment in local environmental stewardship in conservation and environmental management policies and programs globally. Yet environmental stewardship has not received adequate conceptual attention. Establishing a clear definition and comprehensive analytical framework could strengthen our ability to understand the factors that lead to the success or failure of environmental stewardship in different contexts and how to most effectively support and enable local efforts. Here we propose such a definition and framework. First, we define local environmental stewardship as the actions taken by individuals, groups or networks of actors, with various motivations and levels of capacity, to protect, care for or responsibly use the environment in pursuit of environmental and/or social outcomes in diverse social–ecological contexts. Next, drawing from a review of the environmental stewardship, management and governance literatures, we unpack the elements of this definition to develop an analytical framework that can facilitate research on local environmental stewardship. Finally, we discuss potential interventions and leverage points for promoting or supporting local stewardship and future applications of the framework to guide descriptive, evaluative, prescriptive or systematic analysis of environmental stewardship. Further application of this framework in diverse environmental and social contexts is recommended to refine the elements and develop insights that will guide and improve the outcomes of environmental stewardship initiatives and investments. Ultimately, our aim is to raise the profile of environmental stewardship as a valuable and holistic concept for guiding productive and sustained relationships with the environment.

“…Éste puede ser considerado el periodo de consolidación de las osc y es cuando inician los procesos de certificación de pesquerías como fue el caso de la langosta del Pacífico en 2004, impulsada desde el inicio por osc nacionales e internacionales (McCay et al, 2014). A mediados de esa década del 2000 cobró fuerza el movimiento conservacionista, especialmente, en el noroeste de México (por ejemplo, el caso de la vaquita, Phocoena sinus; Cisneros-Montemayor y Vincent 2016) y se consolidaron las osc nacionales, además de las internacionales con presencia en México.…”

“…En la última dé-cada la generación de planes de manejo, aunada a la consolidación del trabajo comunitario de las osc apoyado por la conapesca y la presencia constante del inp ha generado en el noroeste de México, en particular en el Golfo de California, una base de pescadores con un nivel de atención y capacitación relativamente elevado (EspinozaTenorio et al, 2011a;Espinosa-Romero et al, 2014;dof 2014b;McCay et al, 2014). Asimismo, ha continuado la ampliación del campo de trabajo de las osc para incluir a la gobernanza y manejo pesquero como tal (Cudney-Bueno et al, 2009;Finkbeiner y Basurto 2015).…”

A medio siglo de manejo pesquero en el noroeste de México, el futuro de la pesca como sistema socioecológico

El manejo pesquero en el noroeste de México debe reconocer plenamente a la pesca como parte de un sistema socio-ecológico. Este estudio describe la evolución y situación del manejo, incluyendo la dinámica entre instituciones de manejo y organizaciones conservacionistas, resaltando oportunidades y retos para alcanzar la sustentabilidad ecológica y social. En este contexto, el reconocimiento de la pesca artesanal como actividad social además de económica, facilitaría la evolución de los esquemas de gobernanza y manejo para empatarlos con los objetivos sociales. Ello permite abordar de lleno temas de suma importancia, incluyendo los retos de las comunidades pesqueras indígenas, o los impactos anticipados del cambio climático. El conocimiento científico y la experiencia acumulados en cinco décadas representan una gran capacidad para desarrollar estrategias novedosas para transitar hacia la sustentabilidad del sistema. El éxito de este proceso dependerá de la habilidad de consolidar una visión unificada sobre los beneficios deseados, en especial para las comunidades pesqueras.
