Drivers and potential solutions for transnational Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated fishing ( IUU ) in the Gulf of Honduras
The threat of Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing to global fisheries, particularly in lower‐income tropical regions, underscores the urgent need for science‐based solutions. This study explores the drivers and potential solutions to IUU fishing by Honduran fishers in the Cayman Crown reef, located within the territorial waters of Guatemala and Belize. We integrate science‐based and practical, local knowledge through household surve…
Aquaculture isn’t always the answer: Rethinking blue transitions through justice and community experience
Critically examines the assumptions and outcomes of “blue transitions” from fishing to aquaculture in two small-scale coastal communities in Mexico, finding that aquaculture interventions often lead to fragmented and contested transformations. • Uses an exploratory mixed-methods approach to capture diverse community perspectives and experiences. • Introduces a justice-centered framework to evaluate the equity, recognition, and procedural dimensio…
Community-centered approaches to aquaculture in small-scale fisheries
Aquaculture is the fastest-growing seafood production system globally, offering economic and social opportunities for small-scale fishing communities. Yet, it is often introduced through top-down, technocratic approaches that ignore the social-ecological realities of these communities. Drawing on four case studies from Mexico and Honduras, this study uses a multistage, participatory mixed-methods approach to examine the integration of aquaculture…

SCUBA diver behavior, diver carrying capacity and its implications for sustainable reef management
Coral reefs are vulnerable to natural and anthropogenic impacts, especially tourism activities such as SCUBA diving and snorkeling. This study aims to assess diver carrying capacity and the impacts caused by SCUBA divers related to certification level and lionfish spear, through an underwater monitoring of 180 divers in Roatan, Honduras. Results reveal substantial variation in carrying capacity among dive sites, with a notable disparity of over 1…

Coping with poachers in European stalked barnacle fisheries: Insights from a stakeholder workshop
In January 2020, a stakeholder workshop was organized as a knowledge sharing strategy among European stalked barnacle fisheries. Management of this fishery differs greatly among regions and ranges from less organized and governed at large scales (>100 km, coasts of SW Portugal and Brittany in France) to highly participatory systems which are co-managed at small spatial scales (10′s km and less, Galicia and Asturias). Discussions revealed that poa…
Establishing a governance threshold in small-scale fisheries to achieve sustainability
The lack of effective governance is a major concern in small-scale fisheries. The implementation of governance that encompasses the three pillars of sustainability (social, economic, and ecological) is still a worldwide challenge. We examined nine stalked barnacle fisheries ( Pollicipes pollicipes ) across Southwest Europe to better understand the relationship between governance elements and sustainability. Our results show that nested spatial sc…
