TL;DR: In this article, case studies of citizen science projects developed in collaboration with small-scale fishing communities in Mexico´s Pacific Ocean, Gulf of California and Caribbean Sea were analyzed. And the design and performance of these projects were evaluated against the previously published Ten Principles of Citizen Science, and Scientific Stages of Inquiry.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the science and conservation outcomes at 40 potential fish spawning aggregations (FSAs) sites along the coast of the Mexican Mesoamerican Reef and report that those FSAs where scientific surveys were conducted without community participation remain unprotected.

TL;DR: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Mexican small-scale fisheries has been studied in this paper, where a total of 1493 interviews were conducted and a social media analysis that reviewed 9079 posts from April to December 2020 was performed.

TL;DR: In this article, a community-based monitoring model for marine ecosystems in Mexico has been proposed, which is intended to engage local fishers in data collection by fulfilling two principal objectives: (1) achieving science-based conservation and management decisions and (2) improving livelihoods through access to knowledge and temporary employment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess management outcomes and opportunities for a network of community-based, marine no-take zones (NTZs) in the Mexican Caribbean, semi-structured interviews were carried out with fishers and key management stakeholders.
