“…The methodology of the Decalogue for Integrated Coastal Zone Management [41] consists of ten strategic indicators for coastal management in terms of sustainability and governance, which are used as basic aspects in public policies for proper coastal management. This methodology has been tested in several Latin American countries, such as Peru, Cuba, Mexico, Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. In the present study, the Decalogue (Table 2) is used to analyze the current state of ICZM in mainland Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands from the perspective of 3S tourism.…”

Tourism in coastal areas is becoming increasingly important in Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) as an integrated approach that balances the requirements of different tourist sectors. This paper analyzes ICZM in continental Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands from the perspective of the 3S tourism, and presents its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT). The methodology used was based on a literature review of ten aspects of the highest relevance to ICZM, i.e., Policies, Regulations, Responsibilities, Institutions, Strategies and Instruments, Training, Economic Resources, Information, Education for Sustainability, and Citizen Participation. The results highlight four aspects as strengths (Policies, Responsibilities, Institutions and Citizen Participation), while the most notable weaknesses were Regulations and Education for sustainability. Strategies and Instruments, as well as Information, were identified as opportunities to stand out. The main threats were Economic Resources and Training. Ecuador does not have clearly established public policies that would allow for the integrated management of 3S tourism and be considered as productive, valuable alternatives. It is necessary to consolidate and promote 3S tourism as a State policy and as a means to improve the economies in coastal areas. Finally, Ecuador needs to overcome negative changes in the macroeconomic environment and reverse its current deteriorated image.

“…Despite the success of these case studies, the potential of citizen science in Mexico remains untapped. By 2030, Mexico's 150 coastal municipalities (Diario Oficial de la Federación, 2018) will have a predicted population of 60 million (Fuentes et al, 2017), many of whom will depend heavily on coastal resources. Mexico's small-scale multi-specific fisheries are datapoor and significant management reform is considered necessary (Mangin et al, 2018).…”

Citizen science is a rapidly growing field with well-designed and run citizen science projects providing substantial benefits for conservation and management. Marine citizen science presents a unique set of challenges and lags behind terrestrial citizen science, but also provides significant opportunities to work in data-poor fisheries. This paper analyses case studies of citizen science projects developed in collaboration with smallscale fishing communities in Mexico's Pacific Ocean, Gulf of California and Caribbean Sea. The design and performance of these projects were evaluated against the previously published Ten Principles of Citizen Science, and Scientific Stages of Inquiry. Our results suggest that fisheries monitoring, submarine monitoring of no take zones, oceanographic monitoring, and the use of species identification apps by fishers meet the requirements of the published guidelines and are effective tools for involving the small-scale fishing community in science. Translating effective citizen science projects in to effective fishery management, however, is still at an early stage. Whilst citizen science data have been used locally by communities to adapt fishing practices, calculate recommendations for total allowable catches, establish and evaluate no take zones and detect range extensions of species affected by climate change, challenges remain regarding how to garner official recognition for the data, incorporate these growing sources of data into national policy, and use the data for adaptive management regimes at the national level.

“…This methodology consists of 10 strategic indicators for coastal management ( Table 1) in terms of sustainability and governance, to be used as principles in public policies for proper coastal management. This methodology has been tested in several countries in Latin America, including Peru, Cuba, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. The Ecuadorian coast is characterized by an agro-export economy based on large plantations of varied production.…”

“…The current state of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) in Latin America and the Caribbean has made great advancements; several studies have been conducted in countries such as Cuba [1], Mexico [2], Peru [3], Argentina [4], Brazil [5], Chile [6], and Colombia [7]. On the global scale, excellent examples of integrated management practices exist [8], which are critically contributing to maintenance in coastal zones.…”

Integrated Coastal Zone Management in Continental Ecuador and Galapagos Islands: Challenges and Opportunities in a Changing Tourism and Economic Context

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The objective of the study is to analyze integrated coastal zone management in mainland Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, and to discuss its challenges and opportunities in the face of constant changes in tourism and economic realities. The methodology used is based on the analysis of ten key elements to analyze national coastal management: policies, regulations, institutions, strategies, instruments, information, education, resources, managers, and participation. The main results indicate that Ecuador received support in terms of training and international financing for ICZM, but this has not been sufficient to guarantee correct management, due to a high discontinuity in economic and administrative political factors. All this has harmed the development of tourism and the dynamization of the economy in coastal areas. It is advisable to apply new policies where gastronomic and cultural aspects are strengthened.
