  • Participatory Coastal and Marine Management in Quintana Roo, Mexico

    Participatory Coastal and Marine Management in Quintana Roo, Mexico

    Participatory Coastal and Marine Management In Quintana Roo, Mexico By: Juan Bezaury Creel³, Carlos López Sántos¹, Jennifer McCann², Concepción Molina Islas¹, Jorge Carranza¹, Pamela Rubinoff², Townsend Goddard², Don Robadue² and Lynne Hale² ¹ Amigos de Sian Ka’an A.C., ² Coastal Resources Center – University of Rhode Island, ³ The Nature Conservancy Abstract The Quintana Roo coastal ecosystem is characterized by extensive coastal wetlands, a fringing reef that develops .5 to 1.5 Km. offshore and vast seagrass beds in the adjacent reef lagoon. While protected areas and Ecological Planning Ordinances have not specifically been designed as Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM)1 tools, this paper demonstrates that they provide an important foundation for a statewide ICZM program in Quintana Roo. These environmental policy tools have been extensively used along the coast of this state to promote inter- governmental and public participation, establish important vertical and horizontal linkages and balance conservation and development. The paper presents a brief case study of a community-based ICZM program in Xcalak to demonstrate the efficacy of these tools. A voluntary best management practices guide designed for developers to complement ongoing government regulations provides a second example. A statewide ICZM strategy could benefit from these existing resource management programs, and complement emerging international agendas such as the Mesoamerican Caribbean Coral Reefs Initiative. A paper presented at: International Tropical Marine Ecosystems Management Symposium Townsville, Australia, November 23-26, 1998 1 Integrated multi-sectoral resource planning and management for coastal resources has been widely discussed over the last two decades, resulting in the terms Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), Integrated Coastal Area Management (ICAM) and Integrated Marine and Coastal Area Management (IMCAM).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Since the 1998 publication of the Spanish-language manual, Normas Prácticas para el Desarrollo Turístico de la Zona Costera de Quintana Roo, México, several workshops and meetings have been held in Mexico to outreach to the government, non-government and private sector stakeholders, including architects, engineers and developers. We would like to greatly acknowledge these colleagues and practitioners who support these concepts as a tool for minimizing impacts to the very resources they are marketing for tourism, and whom are using the manual in design, permitting, and construction of new infrastructure.

Abstract Traditional knowledge is based on a daily social dimension. It involves the existence of social and intergenerational relations that are directly associated with the environment. In addition, we can only understand local lore by analyzing it through its historic aspect. Therefore, we must think knowledge as a space-time schema to observe it as a social process shared and transmitted. Hence, our purpose lies on exploring the concept of traditional knowledge in the management of coastal resources in one of the micro regions of the Mexican Caribbean. We analyze the life histories of women and men of three main communities of the area known as Costa Maya (Mexican Caribbean in Quintana Roo): Xcalak, Mahuahual and Punta Herrero.

  • Casa Ka'an Mahahual

    Casa Ka'an Mahahual

    WELCOME TO MAHAHUAL ORIENTATION Mahahual is a small fishing village that is becoming an increasingly popular tourism destination. The Villa is located in the Bacalar municipality of the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, close to the border with Belize. This region from the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve to the border with Belize is known as the Costa Maya. Mahahual is divided into the following areas: 1) Malecon - this is the tourism district and center of town along the beachfront where you will find most hotels. 2) KM55 (Kilometer 55) - this is a neighborhood along the south side of the highway coming into Mahahual. 3) Casitas - this is a large development of homes and businesses frequented by locals and expats and is positioned between the highway and the cruise ship port. This is also where you will find the Lost Maya Kingdom Water Park. 4) North Beach - this is the area north of town and includes the beaches of Puerto Bravo, Rio Indio, El Placer, Uvero, and Casona and extends all the way to the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. 5) South Beach - this is the area from the south of Mahahual up to the town of Xcalak. ADDRESS There are no postal addresses north of town, just GPS coordinates and detailed driving directions. • GPS coordinates: 18.991797, -87.600926 • Google shortcode (copy and paste this into Google Maps for a quick link): X9RX+PJ Tzucox, Quintana Roo, Mexico • Driving is by far the best way to get to the villa from the airport. The Cancun airport has a large selection of car rental companies with desks outside the immigration/ customs exit.
