Caribbean fisheries are characterized by their heterogeneous socio-ecological conditions. Paradoxically, they are generally managed through a top-down, government centered, one-size fits all approach. Here, we assessed the governance and socioeconomic context of a Caribbean reef fishery (Tela Bay, Honduras), to disentangle the main challenges and opportunities faced during the transition to fisheries co-management. Similar to the rest of the region, Tela Bay communities depend on reef fisheries for their livelihoods and food security but they turned to co-management as a means to achieve a sustainable fishery. We identified four main challenges for the successful implementation of co-management, these were: (1) weak institutions, (2) financial constraints, (3) reduced group cohesion due to the high heterogeneity among stakeholders and (4) lack of formal legal agreements to legitimize co-management arrangements. Despite these challenges, the Tela Bay communities were able to successfully implement co-management, due to 2 key aspects: (1) bridging organizations that fostered multilevel collaboration, promoted participation, strengthened organizations, generated financial support and improved accountability and (2) social capital, reflected through community participation, cooperation, trust and conflict resolution mechanisms. The Tela Bay case study has contributed to sustainability science by demonstrating that the conceptualization of co-management differs according to the socioeconomic context of the fishery. In its early implementation in Caribbean fisheries, co-management should be viewed as institution building and governance. Thus, successful case studies must continue to be monitored to scale-up these efforts in the region.

过渡到加勒比珊瑚礁渔业的共同管理:特拉湾案例研究

加勒比海渔业的特征是其不同的社会生态条件。矛盾的是,它们通常通过自上而下,以政府为中心,一刀切的“全能”方法进行管理。在这里,我们评估了加勒比海珊瑚礁渔业(洪都拉斯泰拉湾)的治理和社会经济背景,以消除在向渔业共同管理过渡过程中面临的主要挑战和机遇。与该地区其他地区相似,特拉湾社区依靠珊瑚礁渔业来维持生计和粮食安全,但他们转向共同管理,以实现可持续渔业。我们确定了成功实施共同管理的四个主要挑战,这些挑战是:(1)机构薄弱;(2)财务拮据;(3)由于利益相关者之间的高度异质性,降低了团队凝聚力;(4)缺乏正式的法律协议来使共同管理安排合法化。尽管存在这些挑战,但由于以下两个关键方面,Tela Bay社区仍能够成功地实施共同管理:(1)促进多层次协作,促进参与,加强组织,产生财务支持和改善问责制的桥接组织,以及(2)社会资本,通过社区参与,合作,信任和解决冲突机制体现出来。Tela Bay案例研究表明,根据渔业的社会经济背景,共同管理的概念各不相同,从而对可持续发展科学做出了贡献。在加勒比渔业的早期实施中,共同管理应被视为机构建设和治理。因此,必须继续监测成功的案例研究,以扩大该地区的这些努力。
