“…The Gulf of Mexico is a semi-enclosed coastal sea with moderately high productivity that supports great biological diversity. It provides many goods and services such as oil and gas production, fisheries, habitat for endangered species, tourism and support for state economies [1]. The Gulf of Mexico is a shared ecosystem in which environmental solutions are a common responsibility among governments, primarily the United States and Mexico [2].…”

Nitrogen pollution is a growing problem in many rivers and estuaries of the Southern Gulf of Mexico. In Costa Esmeralda, a tourist destination in Veracruz, the increasing nitrogen pollution is causing severe environmental damage. However, very few studies addressed nitrogen pollution and its consequences for beaches and mangroves. In this study, a spatiotemporal evaluation of nitrogen concentrations was performed along two rivers discharging into Costa Esmeralda and the associated mangrove and coastal areas. The data used was obtained from the local government, which measured ammonium, nitrate and organic nitrogen concentrations between 2013 and 2016 with four annual measurements. Clustering analysis was used to detect the nitrogen concentration differences between riverine and coastal sites. Additionally, Mann-Kendall test was used to detect the trends throughout the study period. The Mann-Whitney W-test determined the difference in the median concentrations between the dry and the wet season. The results indicate that organic nitrogen concentrations are increasing in river mouths and coastal waters. Nitrogen pollution caused an intrusion of water hyacinths in touristic beaches and completely covered mangroves. The decomposition of these plants in saline waters was identified as the main potential source of increasing organic concentrations, driven by nitrogen pollution from wastewater, deforestation and fertilizers, and causing many environmental and socio-economic damage to the area. The results shed light on the prevailing water pollution problems in the Southern Gulf of Mexico.

“…La problemática ambiental derivada del aprovechamiento costero suscitó la generación de corrientes de gestión que consideran la necesidad de una interacción respetuosa de hombre y naturaleza; entre dichas modalidades, el Manejo Costero Integrado (mci) y el Sistema de Gestión Basado en Ecosistemas (ebms, por sus siglas en inglés), derivadas de organismos internacionales como la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (Derrick & Xue, 2017;Muñoz & Le Bail, 2017;Portman, Steves, Le & Khan, 2012).…”

“…En México, las acciones de gobierno tendientes a regular las actividades y usos de las playas se han basado en la implementación de políticas públicas, normativas, programas y certificaciones. Estas acciones han buscado la integración de dependencias y órganos gubernamentales para avanzar coordinadamente hacia un manejo articulado, incorporando en su regulación y planeación el concepto de Gestión Integral de la Zona Costera (Comisión Intersecretarial para el Manejo Sustentable de Mares y Costas, 2012; Espinoza et al, 2014;Muñoz & Le Bail, 2017;Rodríguez & Brown, 2012). Tales iniciativas se complementaron con medidas de evaluación ambiental y ordenamientos ambientales que buscaban regular las consecuencias de las actividades económicas en las zonas costeras del país.…”

La zona costera turística representa escenarios de reproducciones sociales complejas, ya que el desarrollo del turismo de playas se ha dado por un modelo de aprovechamiento que soslaya el sistema ecológico que lo soporta. Esto se atribuye a una inadecuada planeación, la desarticulación gubernamental y la generalización de la problemática social y ambiental de las costas. Las playas, como elementos costeros, presentan particularidades sociales y ambientales que requieren metodologías que regulen su variedad. En este sentido, este trabajo tiene como objetivo proponer el uso del Enfoque Sistémico (utilizando la Metodología de Sistemas Suaves) para un acercamiento a la gestión costera desde una perspectiva local. Los resultados obtenidos fueron un diagnóstico participativo y un modelo conceptual de autogestión para las playas de Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. Se encontró que, a partir de estudios locales que otorguen un papel protagónico a la comunidad para el aprovechamiento sustentable de las costas, mejora la vinculación entre lo social y lo ambiental.

“…Peruvian seas' high biodiversity underpins a range of Ecosystem Services (ES) of significant economic and social value (Sevilla and Le Bail 2017) including provision of food and seaweed (Rebours et al 2014); climate regulation and coastal protection (Sevilla and Le Bail 2017); cultural services including coastal tourism (Guezel and Wickel 2015) and primary production and nutrient cycling (Bakun and Weeks 2008). The expansion of the MPA network will contribute to the continued delivery and enhancement of these services: a well-designed MPA could support local fisheries; increase spatial protection of charismatic species leading to opportunities for ecotourism; and support the resilience of coastal communities by protecting habitats important for climate regulation and supporting services.…”
