“…There is a lack of effective communication within the subcommission because its members primarily submit reports rather than engaging in discussions or collaboratively shaping a shared vision during the assembly. In this context, it becomes evident that merely enhancing stakeholder participation, as extensively explored in prior research (e.g., Moellenkamp et al 2010, Jager et al 2016, Soria et al 2021, is insufficient. What is needed is active participation and engagement from the organizations included in the commission itself.…”

The Grande de Tárcoles River in Costa Rica is one of the most polluted and degraded river basins in Central America. At the same time Costa Rica is a country internationally recognized for progressive environmental management. At least on paper, the country fosters sustainable river management in the form of integrated water resources management (IWRM). In the specific case of the Grande de Tárcoles River there is the General Integral Commission of the Grande Tárcoles River basin (CGICRGT) assigned to manage the basin in an integral manner. How this works in practice has so far not been investigated. Therefore, in this article we examine the formal and informal design and working practices of the CGICRGT and determine which type of river basin organization (RBO) it represents. Based on a mixed-method approach combining document analysis with semi-structured qualitative interviews we found that the CGICRGT contains elements of both, an agency RBO and a coordinating RBO. Although coordinating the river management works well to a certain extent, critical challenges remain that hinder a fully successful management of the basin and in consequence the improvement of its ecological status. Amongst them count the overlapping responsibilities of national and local institutions, the missing participation of some important institutions, the lack of financial and personnel resources, slow progress in terms of time, and a lack of motivation of the participating institutions. Although the CGICRGT presents an excellent platform for the integrated management of the Tárcoles river basin its progress will be too slow and its impact too small as long as all participants do not prioritize its work and integrate and motivate all important actors.

“…En la actualidad es fundamental avanzar en la consolidación de alianzas entre científicos y/o académicos, consultores ambientales y comunidades locales para acordar su participación en diversos procesos, especialmente en la recolección y análisis de información, ya sea como voluntario (França et al, 2019;Pinto et al, 2020), o como un paso hacia la consolidación de programas de ciencia ciudadana (Dickinson et al, 2012;Thornhill et al, 2019;Walker et al, 2021;Kirschke et al, 2022). Sin embargo, también es importante compartir y/o construir el conocimiento en colectivo, especialmente en los procesos de diagnóstico y toma de decisiones (Roque et al, 2021;Soria et al, 2021), además de implementar estrategias de alfabetización científica (Thornhill et al, 2019;Walker et al, 2021).…”

El biomonitoreo acuático participativo en América Latina y el Caribe, aún está en una etapa inicial. Este artículo revisa las experiencias registradas por investigadores e interesados en el tema, quienes atendieron la encuesta difundida por la red Macrolatinos@, además de ampliar la información a través de consulta en diferentes fuentes. La mayoría de las experiencias se han desarrollado a partir del 2010, principalmente en México y Colombia. Algunas son investigaciones y otras son requerimiento de consultorías. Es importante consolidar alianzas estratégicas, que generen solidez y credibilidad ante las entidades financiadoras. Una vez se tenga estabilidad y reconocimiento, y se cuenten con la participación tanto de académicos, científicos, gestores y ciudadanos, es fundamental mantener el mayor rigor técnico-científico. Todas las partes interesadas deberán destacar el potencial de los ecosistemas acuáticos dulceacuícolas, así como su importancia ecológica y social, con el fin de democratizar la ciencia y reducir la brecha que se tiene con la sociedad.
