  • The Punta Allen Lobster Fishery: Current Status and Recent Trends
    149 The Punta Allen lobster fishery: current status and recent trends E. Sosa-Cordero Pesquerías Artesanales, El Colegio de la Frontera Sur-Unidad Chetumal Av. Centenario Km 5.5 77014 Chetumal, Quintana Roo, México [email protected] M.L.A. Liceaga-Correa CINVESTAV-Unidad Mérida Km 6, Antigua carretera Mérida-Progreso A.P. 73, Cordemex 97310 Mérida, Yucatán, México J.C. Seijo Universidad Marista de Mérida Periférico Norte Tablaje 13941 Carretera Mérida-Progreso 97300 Mérida, Yucatán, México [email protected] 1. INTRODUCTION After artificial habitats or casitas were introduced as a fishing gear to harvest spiny lobster in the late 1960s, fishers followed two divergent options in self-organizing practices pertaining to fishing cooperatives in the northern and central coasts of Quintana Roo, also known as the Mexican Caribbean (Miller, 1982a,b, 1989; Seijo, 1993; Briones-Fourzan, Lozano-Alvarez and Eggleston, 2000). In the north, fishers adopted an open access organizational scheme that potentially allowed the entire population of local fishers to use the artificial habitats deployed by only a fraction of the fishers, leading to the demise of that gear less than 15 years after (Miller, 1989; Briones-Fourzan et al., 2000). In contrast, in Bahia de la Ascension and Bahia Espiritu Santo, two bays of the central coast of Quintana Roo, local fishers developed by themselves a unique system of individual marine plots or campos, formalized internally by the fishing cooperatives (Miller, 1989; Seijo, 1993). This system relied upon a set of simple rules, self-surveillance and rigorous enforcement by the fishing cooperative (Miller, 1989; Seijo and Fuentes, 1989; Seijo, 1993).

  • The Coexistence of Local Knowledge and Gps Technology: Looking for Things in the Water
    The coexistence of local knowledge and gps technology: Looking for Things in the Water Judy Kalman Departamento de Investigaciones Educativas, Centro de InvestigaciÓn y Estudios Avanzados del IPN, Mexico City [email protected] María de los Ángeles Liceaga Correa Departamento de Recursos del Mar, Centro de InvestigaciÓn y Estudios Avanzados del IPN, Mérida Yucatán [email protected] Abstract During the period 2000-2003, scientists from a prestigious research cen- tre in Mérida, Yucatán set out to study benthic habitats and their relation to lobster fishing in Bahía de la AscenciÓn on the Caribbean coast of México. They engaged local fishers in the task of finding predetermined sites where sea bottom samples would be collected. The scientists used geographical positioning systems (gps) while the fishers steered their boats and followed precise indications from the re- searchers on where to travel. An unplanned and unexpected result of the original research agenda was the introduction of gps technology into the local fishing prac- tices. Drawing from sociocultural theory, this paper provides insights regarding how the fishers use new technology intertwined with local knowledge to navigate at sea and look for things in the water. Introduction In recent years, information and communication technologies (ict) have become more affordable for small scale fishers. International agencies are promoting the use of cellular phones, hand held geographical positioning devices, radio, and in- ternet based information as an avenue for enhancing livelihoods and reducing poverty (fao 2007). This is not to say, however that there are not concerns about the effects of icts on local communities and culture.

  • Fishing in Playa Del Carmen and the Riviera Maya
    Fishing in Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya Sports, or game fishing is often associated with the Pacific side of Mexico, but the shores of the Rivera Maya are quickly becoming a popular destination for sports fishing enthusiasts. Every year more and more people head to the Riviera Maya region of Mexico to enjoy their passion for one of the world's most popular activities, fishing. The great diversity of species that live close to the Great Maya Reef, which protects the coasts of the Mexican Caribbean, along with the possibility of sport fishing during the entire year, have turned Cancun, Isla Mujeres, Riviera Maya, Puerto Morelos, and the Sian Kaan Biosphere Reserve into some of the world’s top destinations for fishing. Fishing, in general, in the Riviera Maya is a once in a life time experience. The topaz blue waters, the clear view of the unforgettable reefs below, the palm-lined shore in the distance, and of course, the fertile waters that are teeming with fish. The natural geology of this area works in the fisherman's favor. Cancun and the deep-water channel between the Yucatan Coast and the Island of Cozumel squeeze the Gulf Stream as it passes by on its journey northward. This "funnel" effect causes an upwelling and an abundance of fish, from small to large, in the Cancun-Cozumel area. Anglers of all skill levels are able to participate and can enjoy fly fishing and light tackle fishing, deep sea fishing, and even some night fishing. The warm waters of the Riviera Maya are home to more than 35 large species of fish including Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Dorado (Mahi-Mahi), Tuna, Kingfish, Barracuda, Grouper, Snapper and many more.

  • Más Que Palabras: Experiencing Small Businesses in Akumal - David J Roman
    Más que Palabras: Experiencing Small Businesses in Akumal - David J Roman My adventure began in Phoenix on the 3rd of June (2014): a T- Bird and his motorcycle, bound for South America. Five thousand miles and 35 days later I had crossed 7 international borders and found myself in the hills of Costa Rica reflecting on amazing people, places, and businesses I had the privilege to experience. It was far more than words that brought me there. Learning and using Spanish were key motivations, yet it was equally critical for me to develop an informed appreciation and community with the people of Mexico, Central, and South America by breathing their culture and seeing their commerce in action. In the months ahead I will share vignettes into 3 places whose local businesses had significant impact on me during my 2-month expedition this summer: Akumal, Antigua, and Atenas. In this edition: Akumal. Akumal, in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, is a town of only several thousand people. Riding there, past the pristine rows of palms in the median and large resorts parting the dense vegetation, it was quickly apparent that the jungle of tourism has taken root along its beautiful shoreline. Outdoor adventures and popular Maya ruins like those in nearby Tulum draw people from the far reaches of the earth. I met two such persons via a work-for-hospitality barter network called WorkAway.info. Eduardo and Vilija Noriega are world travelers that have made Akumal their home-base for this chapter in their life. Ed is a real estate professional from Mexico with a penchant for photography and Livi is a photographer from Lithuania with a knack for real estate.

  • Things to Do in Playa Del Carmen
    Things to Do in Playa del Carmen Ah Playa…what a great little beach city. In so many ways, it's the perfect fun-in-the-sun vacation destination. On a gorgeous stretch of Caribbean coastline, Playa is smack dab in the middle of the paradisaic Mayan Riviera. The city itself offers many attractions, plus you don't have to go far to enjoy the raw beauty of the surrounding area. Playa del Carmen has its own charming character that's youthful, free- spirited and yet ambitious. This once sleepy little fishing village has developed rapidly. It's definitely more grown up than Tulum, but far more bohemian and quaint than Cancun. Just walk 5th Ave [affectionately known as La Quinta], and you'll see this beach city's fun personality all around you! 5th Avenue Shopping & Sightseeing This pedestrian thoroughfare stretches over 25 blocks running parallel with the beach. It's like an outdoor mall or market but with a tropical carnival flavor! This is truly the heart of Playa. Chances are, you'll stroll this little avenue a few times during your vacation. It's too fun to resist! Lining both sides of 5th there are hundreds of stores, restaurants and bars. If you came to shop, you'll have your hands full! In one block, you'll see high-end stores sandwiched between local merchant shops. Colorful souvenirs are stacked high, silver jewelry sparkles in the sunshine and leather purses, hammocks and panchos swing in the breeze. You don't even have to buy anything or stop anywhere for a bite…it's an experience just to walk La Quinta and see all there is to be seen! Visit the extremely cool outdoor art gallery that sets up along the ave every Thursday night, called CaminArte.
